I’ve just added three events coming up in the next few weeks to the Jenkins calendar. Conveniently, they are all events I’ll be attending while traveling around Western Europe! The Cologne JUG is having a meetup on Saturday, June 25th, starting at 2pm. We’ll be talking about Jenkins, maybe doing some coding, and then heading out for drinks and more talk! You can find more...

We’re happy to announce that there’ll be a Jenkins meetup in San Francisco on Wed., Apr 13th, generously hosted by Engine Yard. The meetup will start at 6:30 - you can find more information here. Dr Nic Williams of Engine Yard will talk about their use of Jenkins with Ruby, and Kohsuke will give an update on the JRuby plugin development work he and...

Updated usage statistics are now available at https://jenkins-ci.org/census This data has been scrubbed of distinguishing information as much as possible, filtered for installations we’ve seen at least twice a month with at least one job set up, and split up into monthly JSON files. Starting with August, we only have data on installations of version 1.368 or later - before that, reports go to...

(This was sent as an email to the Hudson dev and users mailing lists after voting concluded, but I thought it’d be good to post it here as well.) The vote is closed, and the results are in. More than half of the total votes were from ineligible voters, but the result would have been the same either way. The final result of all eligible...

First, my apologies for the lack of updates on the Hudson/Oracle situation for the last few weeks. While talks have been ongoing, the holidays have slowed things down, and we didn’t want to send out information that would later turn out not to be true. We’ve been waiting for the talks to reach a resolution - and I believe they now have. Since the java.net migration problems, Oracle and...

[Ed. note Andrew was not involved in selecting this post’s title - rtyler] I wanted to give the Hudson community a quick update on the current status of the issues Tyler has discussed in the earlier posts here. Friday afternoon, Kohsuke, CloudBees CEO Sacha Labourey and myself jumped on a conference call with Hudson contributor/Oracle employee Winston Prakash, Oracle manager Denis Tyrell and of course Ted...

In late 2008, the Hudson team released version 1.264 which added an anonymous reporting feature (you can opt-out in the "Manage Hudson" screen). The reporting feature has been sending information back to the Hudson team to help us understand how Hudson is used in aggregate; the info being reported includes the number of jobs configured, agent configurations, what plugins (and what versions of those...

As you may have noticed, thanks to the link on this and the other pages here at hudson-labs.org, the Hudson development community has recently introduced ci.hudson-labs.org, the official Hudson-on-Hudson instance. We’re currently building Hudson proper, the Hudson core RC branch, individual builds for the various Hudson plugins and Gerrit, as well as various libraries and infrastructure jobs Hudson depends on. We’re currently running all those...

For as long as Hudson’s had a plugin model and development community, we’ve provided source code and binary hosting through our Subversion repo at java.net. But what if you’re a plugin developer and you don’t want to use Subversion? Well, we have an alternative for your source code: host it with Hudson on GitHub. To get this in place, send an email to dev@hudson.dev.java.net (or...

In my capacity as Build Guy at Digg, I’ve written up a blog post on our new continuous deployment/code review/pre-tested commit workflow. We’re using a combination of Hudson, Git and Gerrit, Selenium and more to make sure that every change going to Digg’s new site has been thoroughly tested. Read the whole post, with all the juicy details over on Digg’s Technology Blog!...
