This post is long over-due and I really apologize for that. Some months ago we put out the call for "more agent machines!" through the mailing lists, sky-writers and twitter. We had a serious problem, for a continuous integration project, a large number of our plugins and dependencies weren’t being built in a continuous and automated fashion! We had some builds on a couple of flakey machines on home...

As I had mentioned in a previous post back when Jenkins was called something else, who can remember what anymore, I spent a lot of time working on a mirroring network. With our departure from any and all Oracle infrastructure, this mirroring network has now become our sole distribution mechanism for pushing out all releases and all plugins, in short, lots and lots of...

+ Monday morning I came into work and discovered that I cannot commit to the Hudson Subversion repository. Initially I wasn't worried — I thought it was just another java.net outage that will resolve itself in a few hours — but a little research a bit later revealed that Hudson was locked down and being https://weblogs.java.net/blog/communitymanager/archive/2010/11/03/javanet-begins-migration-collabnet-kenai-infrastructure[migrated to new java.net infrastructure]. + + + I and the...

As you may have noticed, thanks to the link on this and the other pages here at hudson-labs.org, the Hudson development community has recently introduced ci.hudson-labs.org, the official Hudson-on-Hudson instance. We’re currently building Hudson proper, the Hudson core RC branch, individual builds for the various Hudson plugins and Gerrit, as well as various libraries and infrastructure jobs Hudson depends on. We’re currently running all those...

At the first Bay Area Hackathon in mid-2009, the topic du jour was "https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Designing+pre-tested+commit[pre-tested commits]." As potential implementations of the concept were discussed over burgers from Brickhouse in downtown San Francisco, we realized as a group a few things: first, those burgers were delicious, but more importantly: pre-testing commits is very-SCM dependent and involves a lot of moving parts. One of the positive changes...

I apologize for the lack of posts this week, I’ve been quite pre-occupied and a quirk in the twipFromSvn.py script prevented the generation of this post’s contents earlier; thanks to rpetti it works again! This week was an interesting week in plugin development, a slight regression in the release of Jabber notifier plugin 1.7 resulted in the rapid release of a 1.8 release by kutzi....

Apologies for the slight delay in posting another TWiP, both within the Hudson community and outside of it, it was quite a busy week. This past week we’ve had roughly 15 plugins released, with a few going through a number of iterations over the course of the week such as the Emma plugin and one of Hudson’s newest plugins, the Libvirt Slaves plugin. One of...

A little late, but this past week we released 19 plugins including one new release, the Libvirt Slaves.

Michael Donohue, a Hudson developer who has taken on the role of master bug triage guy for Hudson, does something regularly which I’ve really come to appreciate as a Hudson developer myself: he sends out emails to the dev list with the top 10 voted issues at that time. This gives those of us in the Hudson development community a good sense of what’s...

This week we had 18 plugin releases, with the xUnit plugin managing to have a release almost every day. For this edition of TWiP I was actually able to generate the log of releases mostly automatically thanks to rpetti who contributed the script to the contiuous-blog-tools repository on GitHub. This past week saw two new plugins, the SSH plugin and the Global Build Stats plugin,...
