   Summary: Unity CI whitelist mechanism for GitHub and Gerrit
       Key: OVIRT-1657
       URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1657
   Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: oVirt CI
  Reporter: Barak Korren
  Assignee: infra

Right now we have two separate CI mechanisms: # A mechanism based on the ‘{{jenkins-whitelist}}’ repository that is used by CI jobs for Gerrit projects # A mechanism that is part of the ‘GitHub pull request builder’ plugin that is used for GitHub based projects.

The ‘{{jenkins-whitelist}}’ has a few shortcomings:

• Its impossible for maintainers to manually override it

• Maintainers hate to send patches to an unrelated repo

• Its impossible to have a per-project whitelist

The GitHub style whitelist has a few shortcomings as well:

• Whitelist members that were added via comments on PRs are stored in the job configuration and can vanish if jobs are updated via JJB

• The GHPRB plugin forces us to create jobs in a very specific way (One job per project)

• The whitelist can prevent GitHub events without specific people behind them from triggering the jobs – For example jobs are not triggered when commits are added to an existing PR because such events are sent by the ‘null’ user whihc typically is not in the whitelist… (This is probably a bug with the plugin).
