Other duplication though is for less healthy reasons. Needing to do TLS and JNLP rose to the top of my stack last week, and I was pleasantly surprised that most of the initial work had already been done for the latter. I was rather less pleasantly surprised that - though there were bugs and someone had submitted a PR <https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker-plugin/pull/293> that effectively made the feature work (maybe not in all eventualities, but sufficient for many cases) over 2 months ago, but had effectively been told to 'go away'. To me, that's not the right approach for a whole host of reasons - the pertinent one being that it drives a 'not invented here' culture that leads to duplication because dealing with the gatekeeper becomes too painful. It could well be that some plugins could be folded together. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
