Greetings everyone! We're currently working with CI to migrate to an
entirely new jenkins system for core applications. The overall
process as you know it (jenkins builds, run tests, approves, merges)
should stay more or less the same. However, the new setup will allow
us to actually run on devices as well as change and modify jobs
quickly and easily. I also hope the migration will bring more
robustness and ease of use for the CI process.
While we migrate however, the current process has some issues you may
encounter. In this interim period, please don't hesitate to reach out
to myself or Alan if you have any issues with jenkins.
As an example of an issue you are likely to run it is migrating to
vivid frameworks. Currently some of the core apps are still running
jobs which build under utopic. To migrate to vivid frameworks (as I
assume most projects are doing / have done), these utopic jobs will
need to be disabled. If you encounter this, let us know so we can
tweak the jobs accordingly.
You might also experience some weirdness around building in vivid
should you use or require something like the vivid overlay ppa.
Just keep your eyes peeled for jenkins issues and contact us to let
us help you while we transition. It's my goal to have everything up
and running on the new system asap, but it will still take some time.
Thanks everyone for your patience during these growing pains, and I
trust the new jenkins setup will make your lives easier in the end :-)
Nicholas
