Re: The state of our CI

2018-02-07 Thread Vinod Kone
Thanks for the reminder MPark. And also huge thanks (to you and others who
chipped in) for digging into the blocking fd issue plaguing our CI and
fixing it!

Please please make sure keeping our CI green is among your top priorities.
It's the responsibility of all of us.

For new contributors and committers, the emails from CI go to
bui...@mesos.apache.org. Please subscribe to that list if you haven't
already.

Introducing `support/mesos-build.sh`

2018-02-07 Thread Michael Park
Many of you probably know that we currently have `support/docker-build.sh`
to power our CI for our various configurations. One of the problems for us
has been that we create a `Dockerfile` ad-hoc and invoke `docker build`
with it. This is very inefficient and also leads to flaky issues around
`apt-get install`.

I've introduced `support/mesos-build.sh` which operates off of docker
images hosted on Dockerhub instead, and should aid in bringing us faster
and more stable CI results!

As a bonus, we now also test Clang on the CentOS 7!

Thanks,

MPark


The state of our CI

2018-02-07 Thread Michael Park
Last week I noticed that our CI (
https://builds.apache.org/job/Mesos-Buildbot) has been failing for some
time (I've heard somewhere between 2 weeks and a month). It seems like none
of us (including me of course) are paying much attention to the
builds.apache.org emails. Hard to blame ourselves for filtering these
emails and not paying much attention to the failures given the history of
flaky tests.

However, I would like to point out that Alex Rukletsov has done a fantastic
job over the last 4 months or so of trying to keep our CI in a sane state.
He's been identifying, tracking, and keeping authors accountable of the
flaky tests and there has been great progress. I would love it if we can
reap the benefits of his (and others!) efforts simply by us keeping a
closer eye on our CI.

Thanks,

MPark

 Hello all,
 
 Next month I'll be attending HackIllinois (https://hackillinois.org/)
>> as
 an open-source mentor. It's a huge student-run hackathon at the
>> University
 of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, running from February 23rd to the 25th.
 Students from a multitude of schools will be attending (they even bus
>> them
 in). The hackathon has an open-source focus, and while there will be
>> many
 projects for the students to work on, I want to make sure Mesos gets
>> some
 attention too.
 
 I am asking you all for open issues and new ideas for small,
 beginner-friendly projects that could fit a two-day Hackathon project.
>> For
 Mesos, I'm looking through our open issues labeled "easyfix",
>> "beginner",
 or "newbie", which actually returns 74 results! If you have anything in
 particular that you think would be a good fit, please let me know. I'd
>> like
 to go with a list of vetted issues so I don't accidentally start some
 students in on a giant can of worms. Our excellent new Beginner
>> Contributor
 Guide will be a huge help too.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Andy
 
 P.S. If any of you also want to attend, let me know, and I'll get you in
 touch with their director.
