[JIRA] (OVIRT-1315) post-merge build-artifacts jobs for the same commit have a race condition between different platforms

post-merge build-artifacts jobs for the same commit have a race condition between different platforms ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: OVIRT-1315 URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1315 Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy Issue Type: Improvement Components: Jenkins Reporter: Barak Korren Assignee: Barak Korren Priority: High When a change is merged the build artifacts jobs for all platforms are invoked in parallel by the Gerrit trigger. These jobs in turn invoke the 'deploy-to-experimental' job to move the artifacts into the 'experimental' repos for OST testing. Various issues arise because of this: # A Fedora build can trigger an OST run before the equivalent EL7 build finishes. This wastes resources on needless OST runs. # A PPC64 build can place 'noarch' artifacts in experimental before the equivalent x86_64 builds are ready. This can cause OST failures. Because of the PPC64 issue, we have actually disabled publishing into experimental from the PPC64 jobs. Since we now want to move to fully automated production publishing via the experimental flow, we need to fix this.
