Hi folks,
I'm thinking about how we can migrate some of the jobs on jenkins.ceph.com to ci.centos.org.
One of the barriers to entry for Ceph is that our jenkins.ceph.com jobs output both RPMs and DEBs for every branch, and keeping parity between the two formats is important.
If we "brought our own" Jenkins slaves for building .deb packages, could we use the ci.centos.org infrastructure?

There may be a couple of options. But a bit of context first: ci.centos.org as a service is meant to be relatively self-contained, it's difficult (and unlikely from a management perspective) to connect out to jenkins agents running outside of our control. One way may be to check out some duffy nodes and build there either on VMs, or otherwise depending on what the toolchain needs. This may get easier as we build out the cico cloud.
Would these packages be used as test artifacts, or where would these packages eventually end up? We want to focus on supporting folks validating on/by/for CentOS (but I realize that sometimes consolidation across distros is helpful).

That's right, these are (usually) test artifacts that our labs consume.
Jenkins jobs run pbuilder (a tool similar to mock) -> uploads .debs to a "repository" host -> this host runs reprepro (a tool similar to createrepo) -> our lab boxes consume the repos
The idea is that any users on the internet can consume the artifacts as well for basic testing.
If we can't use Ubuntu VMs directly, can we run Ubuntu docker images on the CentOS-managed slaves? It's possible to run pbuilder inside docker (using --privileged).
In terms of repository hosting, we'd be happy to generate and host the repos independently for now, or do it in a VM within CentOS (would that be similar to trunk.rdoproject.org ?)
