Following the migration to the new ci-builds.apache.org, our existing PR builder jobs stopped working. This was due to the removal of a github plugin which we relied on. While looking into how to fix this, we decided to take the opportunity to switch over to a declarative Jenkinsfile for the build.
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/Jenkinsfile Once you merge trunk into your open PRs, it should appear here https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Kafka/job/kafka-pr/view/change-requests/ For now we have set this up so only committers can modify the Jenkinsfile. If that becomes too onerous, we can re-evaluate. If you have any questions or trouble, please feel free to reach out. Also, feel free to file JIRAs for any build enhancements you'd like to see :) Cheers, David
