Greetings everyone! We're currently working with CI to migrate to an
entirely new jenkins system for core applications. The overall process
as you know it (jenkins builds, run tests, approves, merges) should stay
more or less the same. However, the new setup will allow us to actually
run on devices as well as change and modify jobs quickly and easily. I
also hope the migration will bring more robustness and ease of use for
the CI process.
While we migrate however, the current process has some issues you may
encounter. In this interim period, please don't hesitate to reach out to
myself or Alan if you have any issues with jenkins.
As an example of an issue you are likely to run it is migrating to vivid
frameworks. Currently some of the core apps are still running jobs which
build under utopic. To migrate to vivid frameworks (as I assume most
projects are doing / have done), these utopic jobs will need to be
disabled. If you encounter this, let us know so we can tweak the jobs
accordingly.
You might also experience some weirdness around building in vivid should
you use or require something like the vivid overlay ppa.
Just keep your eyes peeled for jenkins issues and contact us to let us
help you while we transition. It's my goal to have everything up and
running on the new system asap, but it will still take some time.
Thanks everyone for your patience during these growing pains, and I
trust the new jenkins setup will make your lives easier in the end :-)
Nicholas
