Automate standard-CI job creation (V2) -------------------------------------- Key: OVIRT-1013 URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1013 Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy Issue Type: Improvement Components: oVirt CI Reporter: Barak Korren Assignee: infra Labels: standard-ci The premise of the CI standard is simple: The developers place simple script in the 'automation' directory, and The infa team take care of making Jenkins run it when it should. But we haven't been able to fully deliver on this premise yet. Getting a project to work with the CI standard also takes writing some YAML in the 'Jenkins' repo. Even worse, this YAML needs to be maintained over time as new project branches get created, new platforms get targeted, etc. The core reason behind having to write YAML, is that there are two technical details that we need to know in order to run the CI jobs, but are not specified in a way that allows detecting them automatically. Those details are: 1. The platforms a certain project needs to be built and tested on. 2. The branches of the project that CI needs to look at, and how do they map to an oVirt releases. We need to specify a way to specify the details above in a way that will allow the CI system to automatically detect them.
