Hi all,
I've mostly beaten jenkins-job-builder into shape. I can generate a set of jobs
that is almost the same as what we have in ci.trafficserver.org. The only
difference is lack of support for the build timeout plugin
<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build-timeout+Plugin>, and locks.
I'm not really sure that the "locks" thing does. I haven't added the remote
build trigger token because I'm not sure whether that's ok to put into a public
repo.
I think the advantages of using jenkins-job-builders are
- the ability to keep the jobs under source control
- consistency in the job definitions
- greater ability to make changes across multiple jobs
So if people agree that this is a good approach, I'd like to back up the
current set of jobs, then delete them and replace them with the generated set
to see how they goes.
cheers,
James
