Show build queue position/time

At the moment, I can't see when the build system is going to process a new release of my package. The webpage shows a truncated list of recent builds, but it would be great if I could see when it got queued and how long will it take to process (e.g. there's 100 builds in front of it and it's going to take 2 hours before your package is built)

Unfortunately, the design of our build system makes this kind of feature challenging to implement. We keep only fairly short list of actually queued builds and then every few minutes we fill up that queue by finding packages that do not have the correct number of builds (swift versions x platforms) already generated and fill the queue from there.

The design of this system works very well, but it makes adding features like this challenging.

Hmm I understand. I saw this on my package's page

This package currently has no compatibility information. We are currently processing a large build job backlog and it may take much longer than usual for compatibility information to appear.

You can see what builds the system is currently processing by checking the build system monitoring page.

and it's been like that for several days so I was curious how long it's going to take before a build is processed for my library.

We are processing a very large set of compatibility builds testing every package against Swift 6.4 right now. The estimate for completing this backlog is some time towards the end of this week and I'm afraid I can't give a more accurate estimate than that.
