Hello Build Team,
I'm one of the committers of the Apache Ant project[1]. We use Jenkins
hosted by the Infra team at builds.apache.org for automated triggering
of specific Jenkins jobs for pull requests that are submitted at the
(read-only) mirrors of the project hosted at github[2]. The Jenkins job
is a typical job that follows the steps noted in this article[3]. Things
work fine and here's the Jenkins job we have[4].
However, a couple of things that seem to be missing when compared to the
"official" Jenkins Github integration plugin[5] are:
1. Ability to whitelist users who can submit a PR - this helps to
avoid random users from creating (potentially malicious) PRs which
trigger a job against Jenkins
2. Ability to issue a "retest this please" command (by whitelisted
users) as a comment on the PR to auto-trigger a new job for the PR.
Are these features already available in the one that's hosted at
builds.apache.org and if so, is there some documentation I can follow?
If not, is there any workaround for #1 or any plans to support these
features?
