[Engine-devel] Jenkins Continuous Integration Server for oVirt is up and running!

[Eyal Edri]

fyi,

oVirt project now has a Jenkins CI server[1] on http://jenkins.ovirt.org.

The CI server runs various jobs on oVirt components *[2] such as ovirt-engine,ovirt-node,etc..  
Every commit to gerrit.ovirt.org will trigger the job 'ovirt_engine' which will run 'maven' build and verify that the commit didn't break the code.
If the commit did break the code, it will send an alert email to "engine-patches.ovirt.org" and to the commiter with a link to a log console containing the error.
On success, the job will trigger other jobs such as "find_bugs", "gwt profiles", "create db", "unit-tests", each testing a different part of the code. 

In time, more and more jobs will be added to jenkins, which will allow us to catch bugs much faster than before, and to improve code quality even more.
If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask me or infra at ovirt.org.
