Hi Roy, Thanks for your patience with us. VCL is primarily used by and contributed to by universities. With most universities moving to online only instruction right now, we've not had much time to focus on contributing to Apache VCL.
I made some time this morning to go through the steps you outlined. When you have time, you can go ahead and create the Jenkins job. Again, thanks for your help, patience, and persistence!
