Hello,
We are experiencing some stability issues with https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/
But the good news is: people here have been busy, and there will be a
completely new
ci infrastructure soon.
https://ci.inria.fr
This is right now in Beta, so please do not yet request accounts without
checking with
us first (and in general, it makes only sense to have an account if you need to
do
something like changing the configuration, not for normal use like downloads or
checking
the status of a build).
This setup is for inria-wide deployment, and inria is a bit larger then RMoD...
there
are over 170 teams, >4500 employees... so this installation needs to be tested
well before
it can be rolled out.
The good news is that RMoD (and thus Pharo) is part of the beta test!
TimeLine
-------------
-> Beta test started 31/10
-> We will recreate the whole setup of the old jenkins there for testing
(possibly simplified using the new command line options)
-> The installation will go in production in January
What will it give us?
-----------------------------
-> We can create whole Jenkis setups by pressing a button.
(e.g. we will create a private RMoD ci server for internal
things,
we could think about splitting the VM builds into it's own
Jenkins, or
a jenkins for every version of Pharo...)
-> Slaves can be created easily (uses CloudStack behind)
-> external guest users can connect to the slaves via SSH (or remote
Desktop for Win)
-> much better infrastructure and support
-> *Much* more resources. Disk size for Slaves, space for keeping
artefacts
So, the ci infrastructure of Pharo will see a very boost soon.
