And Jenkins... well, we have been using this for some time internally
to run test builds for U-Boot. I can tell you a thing or two about
it, and Marek has his own story to tell about his experiences when he
added to the build matrix.
As is, we try hard to get rid of Jenkins, because it does not scale
well to the type of builds we want to be able to do. Marek even
started setting up his own test build framework...
I told Marek on IRC that I don't understand this, given a lot of the
things I've made Jenkins do before and that at the end of the day it's
$whatever-pass/fail-logic
Not really, what about the warning-logic ? Aka. I actually need jenkins
to do tristate results. How, I didn't figure out.
Yes, you can have the build go "yellow" for warnings.
How?
Post build stuff and promoted builds. I'm hopeful once I get a few
patch series polished up and posted for v2012.11 I can go back and give
my Jenkins instance some more attention.
on top of a bash script to do the building and
testing.
So in the end, jenkins is just an executor, bringing in pile of java
overhead and possible random breakage. I use MAKEALL in my script, which
does exactly what I need ... and even tests MAKEALL ;-)
Yes, you're writing your own overhead and dealing with bugs in that
rather than using an existing project :)
Well, jenkins just crashed so badly I didn't manage to get it back in a working
state, you know ...
Never had that happen, sorry :)
