[Pharo-project] [Jenkins] about Pharo ci infrastructure...
Hello, We are experiencing some stability issues with https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/ But the good news is: people here have been busy, and there will be a completely new ci infrastructure soon. https://ci.inria.fr This is right now in Beta, so please do not yet request accounts without checking with us first (and in general, it makes only sense to have an account if you need to do something like changing the configuration, not for normal use like downloads or checking the status of a build). This setup is for inria-wide deployment, and inria is a bit larger then RMoD... there are over 170 teams, >4500 employees... so this installation needs to be tested well before it can be rolled out. The good news is that RMoD (and thus Pharo) is part of the beta test! TimeLine ------------- -> Beta test started 31/10 -> We will recreate the whole setup of the old jenkins there for testing (possibly simplified using the new command line options) -> The installation will go in production in January What will it give us? ----------------------------- -> We can create whole Jenkis setups by pressing a button. (e.g. we will create a private RMoD ci server for internal things, we could think about splitting the VM builds into it's own Jenkins, or a jenkins for every version of Pharo...) -> Slaves can be created easily (uses CloudStack behind) -> external guest users can connect to the slaves via SSH (or remote Desktop for Win) -> much better infrastructure and support -> *Much* more resources. Disk size for Slaves, space for keeping artefacts So, the ci infrastructure of Pharo will see a very boost soon. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de
This is really good news! I really like that INRIA pays attention to issues we having and takes into account our experience and input. This is, of course, what anyone would expect from any reasonable organization :) On 7 November 2012 17:02, Marcus Denker <marcus.denker@inria.fr> wrote:

but to me I do not know that many public funded organization that offer such level. For example we never got any engineers before coming at INRIA :). Stef

And this is really great. It really changes the game compared to research at the University. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

Since it is still in beta testing maybe there is still time to consider some theme-ing to change the default Jenkins look to something nicer (since it serves more than just Pharo maybe INRIA branded?) ... and yes I know there are more important things to be done but I wanted to suggest it anyway ;) http://www.amazon.com/Jenkins-Continuous-Integration-Cookbook-Alan/dp/184951...

Hi, Good idea! I will forward it to the team working on the ci platform. Marcus On Nov 9, 2012, at 10:49 AM, Geert Claes <geert.wl.claes@gmail.com> wrote:
