Heya Christopher,

thanks for wanting to help out! CI is very important but currently a bit stuck, 
so any help is appreciated.

Aside from what’s documented in the wiki, there are a few new developments that 
I am overdue to share with the group, so thanks for nudging me :)

I am happy to report that a SysEleven, a local hosting provider in Berlin has 
donated a rather beefy box to the CouchDB project to be used for CI purposes. 
The server comes with preinstalled VMs (see the list below) and we can request 
further VMs. Management of the VMs is entirely up to us.

Initially, Till offered to get some more reproducible and automated deployment 
& setup going with Chef & friends but that effort stalled a bit because of 
technical issues.

Dave has a new idea for setting that up (I’ll leave it to Dave to fill in the 
exact details), that involves Ansible & Packer. We’d need help to come up with 
a concrete set up that can be deployed on the VMs and hooked into Jenkins.

The mid-term goal is to get all this into the hands of ASF infra, but I’d like 
to get it all running, so we don’t have to waste their time with setup woes 
that we can easily do ourselves.

I can hand out access to the current Jenkins setup (at 
http://ci.couchdb.org:8888) as well as the VMs at request.

The current VM/OS list is as follows:

ubuntu64-1004
ubuntu32-1004
debian64-7
debian32-7
fedora64-17
fedora32-17
centos32-6
centos64-6
fedora32-18
fedora64-18

We can get more, including BSDs & Windows on request, but I think if we get the 
above all running, that’s a good enough chunk of work :)

In Vienna we talked a bit about how to configure various build matrixes and the 
current idea is to use something like .travis.yml to define what combinations 
of configurations a particular branch is supposed to build on. Again, I’ll 
leave it to Dave to go into the details.

So far from me, if anyone wants to help out with any of this, please get in 
touch :)

Best
Jan
