Would it be possible to get the Jenkins RPM installed system-wide as root on gcc110? I have looked into creating my own RPM environment to use the rpms, but it seems fragile. Also, I think other projects would be interested in using a Jenkins instance on that machine.

Thanks!

3My first attempt to install on gcc110 fails do to some incompatibility in an SSL library I think.

This may have something to do with gcc110 having java 1.5. I can't seem to find out what min version of Java Jenkins wants.

Which linux distribution is gcc110, may I ask?

Howdy,

Would it be possible to have Jenkins installed on a Debian/Ubuntu server for Parrot to use in continuous integration?

Jenkins provides Debian packages on their website, which makes it very each to install:

http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/

Any of the beefier machines would do, like gc110 or gcc64. We have some extremely long-running test-suites (maybe a few hours, depending on how many cores are involved), so I would expect this Jenkins instance to be constantly utilizing however many cores it can reasonably be assigned.

This Jenkins instance will know the read-only URL of various Parrot Git repositories, and periodically check for new commits and run various test suites for our entire toolchain.

The main repo being tested is:

https://github.com/parrot/parrot

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with this. I am fine with Jenkins running on some arbitrary high port number. I think it would be wise to have SSL enabled for security, but I could live without it if that is a blocker.

There are only a few plugins we need enabled, but they are all installable via the web interface, so that is not required as part of this support request.

Thanks!
