We are using the CentOS Jenkins server for running CI tasks.
Currently those tasks are maintained by people manually
updating the Jenkins web UI. This is a horrible interface
that requires 100's of mouse clicks to achieve even the
simplest things. It is also incredibly hard to compare
the config of different jobs to make sure they are working
in a consistent manner.
Fortunately there are tools which can help - OpenStack
created the jenkins-job-builder tool which uses the Jenkins
REST API to create/update jobs from a simple YAML file
definition.
This series thus creates a set of YAML files which will
(almost) replicate our current manually create config.
I've used jenkins-job-builder in offline test mode to
generate Jenkins XML files and then compared them to what
we currently have and they are mostly the same. So there
should not be too many suprises lurking, but I do still
expect some accidental breakage in places. As such I have
not actually uploaded the new auto-generated job configs
to
ci.centos.org at this time.
The intention is that these configs will all live in the
libvirt GIT server in a new 'libvirt-jenkins-ci' repository
BTW, following on from this, I would like to create kickstart + puppet
files for managing the build slaves & re-create the the slaves. This
will give us a known good config that we can replicate elsewhere as
needed.

Daniel
