CI allows + developers to commit code to a Source Code Management (SCM) + system such as Subversion, and then have automated programs + check out, build, and test the code. Jenkins is implemented in + the Java language.</p> + + <p>&a.emaste; reviewed some CI work that &a.rodrigc; had done for + the FreeNAS project with Jenkins, and encouraged him to set up + something similar for the &os; Project. With the help of the + &os; Cluster Administration Team, He set up a &os; machine + running two bhyve virtual machines, + <tt>jenkins-9.FreeBSD.org</tt> and + <tt>jenkins-10.FreeBSD.org</tt>. He set up software builds of + <tt>head</tt> and several <tt>stable</tt> branches on these + machines. The status of these builds is visible via a web + interface which is accessible via <tt>jenkins.FreeBSD.org</tt>. + When any of these builds fail, emails are sent to + <tt>freebsd-current</tt> or <tt>freebsd-stable</tt>. Emails are + also sent directly to the list of people who recently committed + code to Subversion since the last successful build.</p> + + <p>As part of the Jenkins setup, &a.rodrigc; encountered problems + with running Java &os; 9.2 and &os; 10.0. Both problems + stemmed from changes to the &os; Virtual Memory (VM) subsystem. + On &os; 9.2-RELEASE, running Jenkins under Java would cause the + kernel to panic. This was a known problem, and fixed in + 9.2.-RELEASE-p3. On &os; 10.0-RELEASE, Java processes would + randomly crash. Disabling the <tt>vm.pmap.pcid_enabled</tt> + <tt>sysctl(3)</tt> variable seemed to fix the problem. In + <tt>kern/187238</tt>, Henrik Gulbrandsen submitted fixes to the + &os; VM to address this problem. &a.kib; committed these fixes + to <tt>head</tt>. These fixes are being tested now.</p> + + <p>During the setup of the bhyve VM's which run Jenkins processes, + &a.rodrigc; wrote scripts to start bhyve VM's from the + <tt>rc.d</tt> bootup scripts, which were then published at + GitHub.</p> + + <p>On February 19, 2014, &a.rodrigc; notified the &os; developers + that Jenkins was running in the &os; cluster, and that they + could look at the web interface to see the status of builds.</p> + + <p>On March 13, 2014, &a.rodrigc; gave a presentation of the + Jenkins work at the Bay Area &os; User Group (BAFUG) in Mountain + View, California, USA. Video of the presentation was recorded + and put online by iXsystems.</p> + + <p>&a.rodrigc; assembled a team of volunteers, + <tt>jenkins-admin</tt>, to help maintain + <tt>jenkins.FreeBSD.org</tt> and expand the use of Jenkins CI + used in the &os; cluster. <tt>jenkins-admin</tt> consists of + the following people working in the following areas:</p> + + <ul> + <li>R. Tyler Croy is both a &os; developer and a Jenkins + developer. He will be working on fixing bugs in Jenkins + specific to &os;. He is first looking at fixing the libpam4j + library which is used by Jenkins to interface with the PAM + system for user authentication. The released version of + libpam4j does not currently work on &os;.</li> + + <li>&a.lwhsu; maintains the <tt>devel/jenkins</tt> port. He set + up a Jenkins build which rans the scan-build static analyzer + which is part of LLVM.</li> + + <li>&a.skreuzer; has experience administering Jenkins systems. + He set up several builds on <tt>jenkins.FreeBSD.org</tt>, + including a Jenkins build of the &os; documentation. He is + looking into automatic provisioning of VM's running Jenkins in + the &os; cluster using Ansible.</li> + + <li>&a.rodrigc; will be running a Continuous Testing working + group at the &os; Devsummit in Ottawa on May 15, 2014. + He will also give a Jenkins presentation on May 17, 2014. + He is interested in working with &a.jmmv; to + integrate Jenkins and Kyua. They have exchanged + some emails about this on the <tt>freebsd-testing</tt> list.</li> + + <li>&a.swills; maintains the <tt>devel/jenkins-lts</tt> port. + He has implemented several builds at <tt>jenkins.FreeBSD.org</tt> + which detect commits to the &os; ports repository, and then + builds the ports tree using Poudrière.</li> + </ul> + + <p>At the end of March, &a.novel; reported to + <tt>jenkins-admin</tt> that he has successfully run the Jenkins + libvirt plugin with his libvirt modifications to integrate with + bhyve.
