Hi Maven folks. Infra has decided to separate off the Maven build jobs from ci-builds.apache.org over to its very own Jenkins Controller and Agents.
This means that Maven now has a dedicated Jenkins environment for itself. It also means that no other projects build jobs can build on the Maven nodes; and then Maven jobs will no longer be able to build on the ci-builds jobs. Your new Controller is set up as https://ci-maven.apache.org and all Maven Committers can login via LDAP and create jobs. At the time of writing, there is one node/agent attached but I am building 4 more - all Ubuntu 20.04 and based in our Azure account. We can automagically move all your jobs over from ci-builds to ci-maven - I just need someone to tell me go ahead and do it. In the meantime, feel free to have a test. The remaining 4 agents will be online by tomorrow. We will review after a month if 5 is enough nodes. As with other projects having their own dedicated controller, who have taken advantage of this isolation by having some nodes/agents given to the project as a 'targeted donation' so someone here may know of a Company will to donate 5 - 10 or more nodes specifically for Maven Jenkins environment. Infra can afford to hand you over 5 right now. Let me know if you have any questions, otherwise let me know when I can make the transfer of your jobs.
