Hello,
On Fri, we discovered that build started to take lot of time (30+ mins) on the CopyToSlave stage (one of the first on build startup) to copy EULA-protected binary blobs to a build slave. This adversely affected ability to restrict build/EULA handling changes/RCs (few timed out as was reported by Fathi).
This could be attributed only to http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/binaries/snowball/ receiving five 100MB drops over last 10 days, or 500% or so growth, which uncovered poor throughput of CopyToSlave plugin. Due to inconveniences it brings, I applied a quick dirty solution of mirroring only the latest tarball from http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/binaries/snowball/ . Let me know if you see any issues. And that solution needs to be cleaned/generalized of course.
