Hi David.
This is really interesting. What kind of performance are you getting
from it?
I have been wondering about if it might be a viable option to make a
kind of render farm out of 20-50 Raspberry Pi, and whether that'd work
out cheaper in terms of processing power per buck than buying one big
fast multi-processor machine.

I’ve been able to compile DCP-o-matic on Raspberry Pi
2’s using the Raspian disk image. I had to install a few packages and compile/install a
couple of third party libraries. I also had to make some changes to the script file to
take into account that the CPU is an ARM chip, and not Intel x86.
Carl, any chance you’d be willing to take on another platform for your package
distribution? Raspian is a direct Debian implementation, so you should be able to re-use a
lot of your setup.
I’d be willing to donate a configured Pi 2 to the project if that would help.
