+1, we need a way to block bad patches from being merged, even with a rebase in gerrit. going forward we're planning a few changes to the way jenkins jobs are run on ovirt ci, which will help reduce noise and imrove resources usages. 1. moving into a flow process, where critical jobs like unit tests/checkstyle will run first and only then other heavy jobs will run (integration/rpms/findbugs) 2. using gating system like zuul to do the merge after verification of sanity jobs automatically. these will take time of course and will be done gradually. > And carry on also +1 in case of gerrit rebases. > > > That way if any of the previous patches failed any test you won't be > > able to merge it unless a maintainer accepts or the tests pass.
