Hi,
the CI infrastructure exists because I found it import to have all Osmocom
software compile and I set-up the Jenkins on my personal infrastructure. Since
the adoption of gerrit having a stable build infrastructure is crucial though
and my set-up was too flawed.
In the past the VirtualBox running the Linux node got stuck and needed manual
intervention. As it was running on my private system I was the only one
capable of doing that. Sysmocom has offered to rent a dedicated build system
and I have used some of my freelancing time to do the migration.
* The Jenkins UI/Server jail has been migrated to the system that runs most of
the other Osmocom infrastructure. DNS should be updated soon and then TLS will
be enabled for the login.
* OsmocomBuild1 is a Debian8.0/amd64 build slave with plenty of RAM and running
on a SSD. All Linux builds should have been migrated away from the
Ubuntu-1504-64 system to it.
* rtl-sdr has some funny issue with make uninstall and Doxygen. If someone
wants to fix it please go ahead, otherwise I will probably disable doxygen for
this build.
* I tried to have OpenBSC/OpenBSC-gerrit run in docker[1] so we can run all
configurations at the same time but Jenkins is stepping on itself (and removing
files from one label and impacting the other). At least we seem to have a
benefit if two people upload changes at the same time.
kind regards

[1] I would prefer something without a server (as aborting a build doesn't
abort the container) but still convenient enough to just create a new network
namespace and remove it on exit
[2] We are only executing the four configurations in parallel as the "build
concurrently" option is stepping on each other (files vanish, etc).
