Hi,

to me, it seems that with current CI flow, we can do following:

- in build-artifacts.sh, build UI for English (only) & all supported
  browsers (IE10+, Firefox, Chrome), by using `ovirt_build_locales 0`
  as the default fallback

+1 from my side.
Sandro - any objections or thoughts?
 

  Note: this will cut down the # of permutations from 3x9 to just 3
  (currently we have 3 supported browser types, 9 supported locales).

- ensure that release builds still target all supported UI locales,
  by using `ovirt_build_locales 1` (override the default fallback)

You can make sure in the automation/ dir in the 'manual*' script has it.

 

- it would be nice if the Jenkins job for build-artifacts.sh would
  set some `RELEASE=1` flag (or similar) when doing a release build
  (is this possible with current standard CI?)

In planning, what I want to do is to move the 'manual official' [1] to be automatic official builds,
as for RELEASE flag, we'll need to discuss on changing how we manage ovirt-engine versioning, I think we talked about 4.1 or later to try to use mvn release plugin or 
an alternate way to avoid the manual patches for updating POM files.
 

Eyal/others, does above make sense?

Yea, see my comments.
 

Also, as Nir mentioned, if `ovirt-engine` repo was configured with
Submit Type == Fast Forward Only, we could drop RPM / GWT build in
check-merged.sh (which was Eyal's original suggestion).


Its currently on 'Rebase if necessary', if there is an agreement I can change it to 'Fast forward only'.
 

Regards,
Vojtech
