• Summary Report: Git Repository Disruption Incident of Nov 10th

  As reported in various places, there was an incident in early November where commits in our Git repositories have become misplaced temporarily by accident. By the mid next week we were able to resurrect all the commits and things are back to normal now. As there are many confusions and misunderstandings in people’s commentary, we wrote this post to clarify what...

• DKIM and SPF deployed

  In the hope of streamlining account creation e-mail delivery and mailing list moderations, I have deployed SPF and DKIM over the weekend for e-mails coming out of @jenkins-ci.org, which includes account appliations, Confluence, and JIRA. I’ve also used this opportunity to switch back the sender of JIRA notifications to noreply@jenkins-ci.org. It was originally this way, then changed to jenkinsci-no-reply@googlegroups.com when someone...

• "Thank you" page for Windows/OS X installers

  I’ve tweaked the website so that downloading the Windows and Mac installers will navigate the browser to "thank you/what’s next" page. These pages have links to Wiki that educate the users on where/how the installer will run Jenkins. Hopefully this makes it little easier for new users to get started on Jenkins. I’ve tested the new mechanism with IE, Safari, and...

• Thanks for the support PagerDuty!

  Over drinks this evening Kohsuke pointed out that he never saw a blog post about PagerDuty.image:https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://agentdero.cachefly.net/continuousblog/images/pagerduty_logo.png If you’ve never worked in a sysadmin role or in any other position that would require an on-call rotation, then you may have never seen PagerDuty. In essence the service provides a great series of integration points with Pingdom or Nagios for handling monitoring. As an...

• Mirror, mirror on the wall

  Let me preface this entire post with this: I love Contegix. While working on some infrastructure tasks I had long-since put-off for the Jenkins project, I noticed something this weekend that scared the hell out of me. At some undetermined time, our MirrorBrain installation stopped redirecting to our mirror network. Absolutely zero downloads were being redirected, meaning that cucumber, the 1U machine graciously colocated by Contegix had served...

• A big thanks to Rackspace

  This post is long over-due and I really apologize for that. Some months ago we put out the call for "more agent machines!" through the mailing lists, sky-writers and twitter. We had a serious problem, for a continuous integration project, a large number of our plugins and dependencies weren’t being built in a continuous and automated fashion! We had some builds on a couple of...

• The first 24 hours in downloads

  As I had mentioned in a previous post back when Jenkins was called something else, who can remember what anymore, I spent a lot of time working on a mirroring network. With our departure from any and all Oracle infrastructure, this mirroring network has now become our sole distribution mechanism for pushing out all releases and all plugins, in short,...

• Java.net migration status update

  Monday morning I came into work and discovered that I cannot commit to the Hudson Subversion repository. Initially I wasn’t worried — I thought it was just another java.net outage that will resolve itself in a few hours — but a little research a bit later revealed that Hudson was locked down and being migrated to new java.net infrastructure. I and...
