Hello!
I spent an evening putting something together that I think may be exciting
for the whole Jenkins community. As of right now on any Ubuntu 16.04
system, you can run
snap install jenkins
And Jenkins 2.8, with all of its dependencies bundled, will be installed on
your system. This is especially important for users because Jenkins was
removed from the Debian/Ubuntu archive some time ago and it’s been a pain
point for them, so we’ve been working on helping upstream developers
publish software directly to users in a discoverable manner.
The code is here:
https://github.com/evandandrea/jenkins-snap
I’ve set up snap builds of Jenkins master and I am publishing these to the
“edge” channel once a day. You can install 2.9-SNAPSHOT with:
snap install --channel=edge jenkins
Or if you’ve already installed Jenkins 2.8:
snap refresh --channel=edge jenkins
Publishing this snap will also give Jenkins more visibility to users out of
the box without them having to explicitly search for a repository, and will
give your project more control of what is available in Ubuntu.
Let me know what you think about getting the snapcraft.yaml file in your
repo so you can control exactly what gets built. Or if you have any
questions, I’d be happy to field those too.
