The options are combination of the distro and branch, I added the job[1](el7, 4.0), to use it press 'build' from Jenkins's GUI and fill in the GERRIT_REFSPEC to the needed patch. As the build-artifacts job run on the limited resources of bare metal hypervisors I restricted it for now to one concurrent job.
On infra side, I guess this can be yamlized later if it becomes useful(just copy-paste of the current build-artifacts removing some stages).

Hi,
let me step back a little and explain what we want to achieve. We have patch pushed to gerrit, not merged to master. We want to build rpms from it and pass it (via no official way) to some tester so that he can test it.
I read provided documentation, but I do not have sufficient background to understand it fully. Questions:
1. if I opted to run these tests locally, what are expected hw specification? I mean devel build is already more than laptop can handle. If this has enabled all translations, I'd have to take a pto to run it. So is this even possible to be ran on laptop with only 12G ram?
2. Since I probably should be coding instead of waiting for build on irresponsible laptop (which it is even for devel build), would it be possible to have jenkins build, which prepares rpms as described above without need to deploy them to some repo, but allowing to download them instead?
thanks, M.

Hi, first you can run it locally quite easily using mock[1], the command should be(after jenkins repo is cloned and mock installed) something like: ../jenkins/mock_configs/mock_runner.sh --mock-confs-dir ../jenkins/mock_configs/ --build-only -s fc24 After running successfully the artifacts will be under exported-artifacts directory.
It is possible to do it from Jenkins too, the problem is that the current _build_artifacts job also deploy the created RPMs to resources.ovirt.org's experimental repo, which is later consumed by OST. If needed, we can clone the needed job and remove the deploy part(and add -manual suffix), then you can pass the gerrit refspec in the build parameters. If so, tell me which job.
Adding to Matin's explaination: He posted https://gerrit.ovirt.org/65793 and would like it be tested. It would be wonderful if you can add a job that makes it possible to build el7 rpms from that patch, to bet executed by QE.
So yes, I'd appreciate if you can add such a -manual job for building ovirt-engine. I'm not sure I know "which job" precisely is that, though. Can you tell me which are the options?
Regrards, Dan.
