[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-35451) Change name of "slave.jar" to "agent.jar"
Title: Message Title Liam Newman edited a comment on JENKINS-35451 Re: Change name of "slave.jar" to "agent.jar" Is eternal backward compatibility a core requirement? Can we create a plan for phasing these out? Provide both for some time period and then remove the old. File names in particular heavily influence the terms people use when talking about the product and features. Keeping "slave" in the file names essentially defeats any effort to remove the term "slave" from association with our product. As part of this transition, we're seeing people add the term "agent" but not remove the term "slave" from descriptions. "I'm have a problem with my jenkins slave agent." To get people to drop "slave", I think we need to not show them "slave-blah" every time they start an agent.

Title: Message Title Liam Newman commented on JENKINS-35451 Re: Change name of "slave.jar" to "agent.jar" The originally agreement was that the term slave would be removed from the UI, but left in the APIs to avoid breaking compatibility both for plugins and customer tools/scripts. The problem is that line of where the UI stops and the API begins is a somewhat fluid when your users are engineers. I understand that filenames and urls are effectively part of the API and so changing them is problematic and could be considered out of scope. But filenames and urls are also part of the end-user experience (the UI) for every Jenkins user. And the files and urls related to adding an agent are some of the first and most commonly used.

Provide both for some time period and then remove the old. We cannot, because there is no API deprecation policy/engine. As a remoting maintainer, I'm strongly -1 on removing original links within any visible timeframe. Too much fixing efforts and regressions due to just a renaming Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.2#64017-sha1:e244265) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Issues" group.

Title: Message Title Oleg Nenashev commented on JENKINS-35451 Re: Change name of "slave.jar" to "agent.jar" It's not so easy, because many automation flows download slave.jar, windows-slave.exe and other such files from Jenkins. We can only add new endpoints and fix UIs, but the previous entries must be retained Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.2#64017-sha1:e244265) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Issues" group.
