I've no strong feelings on this subject. I personally don't know travis so
I can't compare it to anything else.
I'm a jenkins Standard-CI user and I tend to be happy with what we have.
That said, despite I would prefer all ovirt projects to be aligned with the
same workflow, I'm perfectly fine with whatever CI testing / building
system is implemented or used for each project provided that:
- it works
- it produces rpms which can be added to ovirt-system-test for functional
testing
- it produces source archives which can be published on release
- it produces rpms which can be installed on release for all supported
platforms and arches.
- it doesn't require creative ways to get artifacts to be released
