We're working on configuring new donated servers for Apache Cassandra testing in the ASF Jenkins infrastructure. I have a preference to request INFRA set up a new git repository specifically for build/test_run/jenkins_template scripts, separate from the main Apache Cassandra source, but I'm wondering how others feel about these just being in-tree. If you have an opinion one way or the other, I'm interested.
I think a separate git repo would be preferable since the contents could be used for any version, regardless of the checked out C* branch or sha, it won't require backporting, and it will be tiny. It may also allow a lower barrier for contributors interested in helping with specifically build/test infrastructure. Thanks! Michael
