Hello Martin,
[snip]
I agree this change to be safe to be applied on Jenkins slaves (IOW it's functionally identical to version in previous oscap releases).
Thanks for the review, Jan!
I have applied the optimizations on Jenkins slaves and from my initial testing the time required for pull request builds and normal CI builds went down roughly 35-40%. It's not as much as I expected but it is a noticeable improvement.
Old typical el7 SSG build + validate times: 30-40 minutes. New typical el7 SSG build + validate times: 20-30 minutes.
The next big optimization lies in getting better hardware for Jenkins. `make jenkins` takes 2m16.877s on my work laptop and 20+ minutes on the OS1 nodes. That is a huge difference. And my laptop can't be called a powerful machine, it's just a dual core i7 laptop.
