Jonathan, thank you for raising an important point, and this matters a lot to my next proposal.
In terms of JDK versions, knowing that Oracle has put their mainstream JDK as version 1.8 (1), I'm slightly toward to 1.7 which is closer to 1.8, but I'm open to either version and let the community vote to it. What is my next proposal? I have been testing Ambari build on Docker (2) and would like to propose it as the trunk and branch commit build once I complete a POC. Slaves on builds.a.o have a lot of limitations in terms of what environment you want (at least as far as I know) but Docker will enable us to use whatever environment we like to support. (1) 1.8 is the top list in this download page http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html (2) https://builds.apache.org/view/A-D/view/Ambari/job/Ambari-trunk-Commit-docker/ On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 2:37 PM, Erin Boyd <[email protected]> wrote: > Agreed +1 to JDK1.6 and Python 2.6 > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Yusaku Sako" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, October 17, 2014 2:27:59 PM > Subject: Re: Apache Builds & JDK > > +1 on JDK 1.6, Python 2.6. > > On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 1:26 PM, Nate Cole <[email protected]> wrote: > > > +1 for JDK 1.6 - I see this as the same reasoning we went with python 2.6 > > vs 2.7. > > > > > > On Oct 17, 2014, at 4:22 PM, Jonathan Hurley <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > > Hi All, > > > > > > I introduced a failure on builds.apache.org today; the odd thing was > > that the failing test ran perfectly fine on my local environment and on > > other developer’s environments.
