Tweaking the Inventory call in duffy
by Karanbir Singh 03 Sep '16

03 Sep '16

hi We are going to change the way the backend inventory works to accommodate different architectures, different type of deployments and different ways to return/teardown CI hosts. As a result, users will no longer be able to call the /Inventory API call for a complete state, you will need to supply your apikey for it to return anything worthwhile. For existing calls that already supply the apikey ( I believe the cico client does ), there should be no change. But for anyone doing a generic blanket call to get entire stock report, they will get an empty result set. Is this going to impact anything anyone has in production right now ?

list of CI jobs/code
by Colin Walters 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hey, to recap there are two things I really like about CentOS CI: 1) The idea that we can more easily share code/ideas/maintenance with other users in the ecosystem, from RDO to libguestfs, etc. 2) The bare metal provisioning Relating to #1 though, what I miss right now is a process/model for actually sharing more with other users. For example, I find myself wanting better code to manipulate artifacts beyond base rsync, and I'm curious what others are doing. But how to find their code? (Reading through the jenkins job UI configuration is too awful to consider, I'd hope people are using JJB) So, how about we start a wiki page with links/descriptions to projects which are using CentOS CI? Can someone with the perms start that? My entry is: https://github.com/CentOS/sig-atomic-buildscripts/tree/master/centos-ci

Github status context
by Marek Skalický 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Hello, could you please set "Commit Status Context" in Jenkins configuration in "GitHub Pull Request Builder" section to for example "ci.centos.org" or something different. Or is this a problem? We would like to run another Jenkins CI for the same github repo, so this change is required to see all CI results for commit. For more information see 'context' in https://developer.github.com/v3/r epos/statuses/#statuses. Thanks, Marek

New packages added to the CI slaves (python-openstackclient and python-cicoclient)
by Brian Stinson 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

Hi Folks, A couple of updates on the packages installed on the slaves: We are now providing version 0.3.10 of python-cicoclient[0] system-wide. If you are using your own copy in a virtualenv or otherwise, you may continue to do so. We will be tracking all upstream releases for the system-wide package. For those of you working on the cloud setup in ci.c.o, we have the openstack clients available to you. If there are any questions please let us know here. Cheers!

Need jenkins plugin
by Clint Savage 17 Aug '16

17 Aug '16

Hi all, It appears as though the PostBuildScript plugin will be needed for the matrix and multijob things I'm doing. Could you please add that to the jenkins instance on ci.centos.org? Cheers, herlo

reaping orphaned machines at 6 hrs
by Karanbir Singh 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

hi, in the next few days we will deploy an update to the reaper service that will reclaim hosts 6 hrs after they were deployed; having done some analytics, it looks as if this will have no impact on anyone since all the existing successful tests complete in under 6 hrs - however this helps us reclaim orphaned hosts much sooner. At the moment, the reaper process reclaims after 24 to 48 hrs of deployment.

Moving forward with the upgrade to Jenkins 2.x LTS - Action Needed for JJB Users!
by Brian Stinson 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

Hi Folks, We're looking into upgrading ci.centos.org to the latest LTS release (In the 2.x series). So far this appears to be completely backwards-compatible with the set of plugins we have enabled, though we will continue testing over the next few days. *JJB USERS READ HERE* If you use Jenkins Job Builder in your projects, can you please test setting 'query_plugins_info=False' in your jjb.ini file and check for adverse effects? We are still waiting on a fix in Jenkins to allow regular users to access the plugin list, but in the meantime it appears that there are only a few circumstances where this makes a difference. If all goes well, we will schedule a time and inform the list on our plans for the upgrade itself. As always if you have any questions, please let us know here. Cheers! -- Brian Stinson CentOS CI Infrastructure Team

RDO jobs in cico
by Karanbir Singh 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

hi guys, with an increase in the number of slaves, we've noticed that the rdo jobs are deploying machines at a much higher velocity than before - as a result the ready pool is consistently hitting the low water mark. Rather than do an overall quota limit, I'm looking at limiting the number of duffy deploy's per 10 min cycle, but rather than propose something I'd like to see what folks think is a reasonable number to start from ? regards, -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
