Hello, we have identified issues with the way CI handles docker containers and thus started a rewrite of this component.
Besides problems that limit the maintainability of our CI system, the current solution is not extensible in terms of other operating systems running inside the container. But more importantly, developers are not able to reproduce CI issues locally on their computer. We would like to give every developer the chance to reproduce problems locally without going through an iterative trial & error process assisted by our CI system. I will follow up with more documentation at a later point in stage. This project will change the structure of our dockerfiles, remove a lot of code from the Jenkinsfile, centralize the configuration and behaviour as well as clean up some files. Please expect some merge conflicts after this PR has been shipped. Right now we're in the process of migrating all jobs to the new layout; you can track the progress at https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/9946. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me in case of any questions. Best regards, Marco
