As the Jenkins project grows, the need for our infrastructure has been growing. Our Jenkins-on-Jenkins needs more build agents, we need more servers to run our infrastructure services. And it was once again Rackspace who stepped up to the plate; they have kindly donated us more cloud servers. I also use Rackspace for one of my personal servers, and when I went back to their...

Volume 4 of Continuous Information came out last night. It contains insights and highlights from founder Kohsuke, the latest growth stats, upcoming event info, Jenkins resources, and more. Highlights: Jenkins has nearly 20,000 more active installations than it had last June, up from 43,500 to more than 61,000 Nearly 100 plugins have been added since late last Fall when we did the last Jenkins survey. Now there...

Because I work on Jenkins day in day out, it’s easy for me to forget that most people don’t pay /that/ much attention to Jenkins. If you fit that category, and if you want to stay on top of the latest happenings in Jenkins, don’t miss Volume 2 of Continuous Information, the CloudBees Newsletter for Jenkins. This issue…​ Features details about the 6 upcoming Jenkins User...

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!...

It’s been quite a while since I posted a Hudson links-roundup post, so without further ado, here goes nothing Max tells us about using Hudson with Symbian’s CodeScanner tool. Running agents on Mac OS X? Mirko has some handy launchctl foo for keeping his JNLP agents online Scott threw up a great configuration sample for running Hudson with an Nginx reverse proxy with SSL Mark walks us through...

Recently our fearless leader, Kohsuke Kawaguchi, was invited by the nice folks over at Digg to give a tech talk about continuous integration and automated testing. The Digg engineering team is full of believers in continuous integration, including our very own Andrew Bayer (abayer). Being big users of the Sauce Labs service to drive their vast Selenium test suite, the house was packed with...

The release of 1.355 came out earlier this week but I hadn’t had the chance to write anything up about it. Of course, the work never stops on Hudson so we almost have 1.356 ready to roll out the door, but then Kohsuke tweeted this: Because of the data center migration going on, I won’t be able to release #hudsonci today. I won’t go into details...

Hear ye, hear ye! Behold, the first release of Hudson ever made by a not-employed-by-Sun Kohsuke (as we covered last week). This iteration of Hudson contains only bug fixes, check the listing below for the specifics on which bugs have been fixed (1.355 is looking like it will contain a number of fixes as well). The release of 1.354 comes slightly later than usual...

This week’s release comes slightly later than usual and is mostly a clean-up of a few bugs. Due to a problem with the Kohsuke’s GitHub mirror of Hudson’s core, I can’t mine the commits for interesting information as per usual so you’ll just have to trust that Hudson 1.353 is chock full of good, wholesome bug fixes. If the problem persists next week, I’ll...

After an exciting week that saw the rushed release of Hudson 1.351 on Monday following a fairly serious regression, Hudson 1.352 was released mid-Friday with a good mix bug fixes and enhancements. Bundled with this release was another localizations drop including translations for ca, es, fi, fr, hi_IN, it, nl, ru, and sv_SE locales. In addition to the nice fancy new community contributed translations,...
