Subject: Automation CI for vdsm
[...]
We want to allow developers to trigger the script once reviews and
verification are ready (last step before merge). To do so we agreed to add
Continues Integration flag for each vdsm patch. Once this flag will be
signed with +1 it will trigger Jenkins CI to run the check-merged script
(adding new button to gerrit is not an option - you can image that flag as
a trigger button), on success Jenkins CI flag will turn to +2. on fail
we'll get -1 and once new patchset is ready the developer will remove the
+1 and add it back to the Continues Integration flag to re-trigger the job.
Please ack the process before we move on with that
Sounds good, even though I'm a little scared (just gut feeling, no evidence
whatsoever) that this could add even more complexity and fragility to the jenkins
fleet.
In the long run, when this is reliable, it will help greatly.
In the short term, I'm scared because this can lead to false positives and bogus
failures.
Let me stress I don't have concrete item to share or specific flaws.
As action item on me, I will find some time next week to check virt functional tests,
to see if they need some fixes, work reliably and so forth
The patch for those scripts still under review and testing -
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/48268
Will review asap.
