I see there are 2 RHEL 6.2 slaves added to Jenkins and I see they are doing something with the engine? What are they actually doing since I don't see any artifacts left over? How hard would it be to tweak the existing ones to create .rpms?
currently they are used for running mvn jobs like unit tests/find bugs.
you mean use them to create RPMs for ovirt-engine? supposing make rpm will work for that, all we'll need is to make sure they have the right rpm build packages installed (rpmbuild, make,autoconf,etc....) If we want to do that, we should go down a slightly different path. Each project should have a job that makes the source rpm and tarball. Then separate jobs on each of the platforms (fedora, RHEL, ubuntu, etc...) that will take the srpm and/or tarball and generate packages for

Mike Well all the packages are built from a tar file but SPRM wont work for Debian based systems. On my testing system creating the .tar.gz file takes like 10 seconds. But having an updated tar.gz file on every master commit could be useful. Not sure how much having a pre-done src tar is going to save in actual build time. Although having diff build

I can think of some steps we could go though to convert the process but at best it would be based on my basic knowledge you know the current build process and would be best for you to outline the steps to get the changes in place. What steps do you think are the best steps to getting the process changed up?
So my thoughts in general on this (can be applied to any code based sub-project except node): Job 1: build source (done on latest fedora and/or rhel host) generates source tarball generates srpm exports both as artifacts Job 2: Build Fedora 17 RPMs takes srpm artifact from Job 1 uses mock to build F17 RPMs Job 3: Build EL6 RPMs takes srpm artifact from Job 1 uses mock to build EL6 RPMs Job 4-X: Build RPM for Distro XYZ takes either SRPM or tarball depending on distro build distro specific packages As for the code to do each job, I don't know all the ins and outs of building each individual component, but something like a make dist and/or a make srpm should provide the needed artifacts. I also don't know mock very well, but I'm pretty sure it's pretty straightforward for most packages. Potential problems that I see: 1. spec files will need massaging for el6 and f17 diffs 2. will need distro specific spec file equivalents for each distro we support 3. possible missing options to create srpm and src tarball ovirt-node: only really supported on fedora right now. We could possibly build packages for el6 and other distros that contain the fedora based iso, but not sure if that is really useful or not. As for an EL6 based image, that will take some work to figure out as well (and not sure if that's really a major driver at this point or not). Mike
