Note to myself: to make roll back possible, all the v2 backend jobs are currently just disabled, ant v3 UC is still served from /var/www/ updates2.jenkins-ci.org as opposed to /var/www/updates.jenkins-ci.org.
Come back to this in a week, and clean them up to really complete the transition. 2014-11-05 22:19 GMT-08:00 Kohsuke Kawaguchi <[email protected]>: > I've just switched over http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/ from the previous > "v2" layout from the new "v3" layout.
