Hi Sam, thank you for sharing your thoughts! As they are more related to infrastructure I've started a new thread 'Jenkins infrastructure (Was: Jenkins tutorial)'. Let's continue there.

I also thought it would be nice to have a co-admin for these cases. If anybody volunteers, why not.

That being said... would it be useful to have a vagrant instance of the development environment including Jenkins for Job testing? With a vagrant file it can be as easy as a single program executing to pull down virtual box, the image, all of the requirements for gimp building and testing. This is something which could also be tweaked. Also, Jenkins really isn't hard. It's pretty intuitive IMO (java -jar jenkins.jar and you have a local web server) but a turn key dev environment would certainly lower the barrier to entry. ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
Re: [Gimp-developer] Jenkins tutorial
Also, something you might be interested in is front end web testing for bad links, etc. Recently I've been working on a project to facilitate that testing. https://github.com/sag47/frontend_qa This can easily be used in a Jenkins job to arbitrarily launch and crawl gimp.org and test all the links in it checking for dead links, etc. Currently it's a work in progress but it's a place that one can easily start for frontend testing the Gimp website.

It would be nice to have docs on how to setup such a Jenkins instance (after the other tutorials are written). * Many bits in GIMP's source code are like a reference for "how to do X" which other free software projects can use as examples. In the same way, "How to setup a Jenkins instance for GIMP" would help others setup one for their project too. * Such docs would enable others to maintain/reconfigure the Jenkins instance when you are busy and unable to do so.

[Gimp-developer] Jenkins tutorial
Hi, now that we have our continuous integration server Jenkins for babl, GEGL and GIMP at an easy memorable address (https://build.gimp.org) I'm going to write a tutorial for developers and testers on how to use it. Are there any particular questions you want to have answered there? Kind regards, Sven (Yes I know, cross-posting is bad. I did it anyway because I think not all GIMP people will be on the GEGL dev. list and vice versa.) ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
