Hi Kurt,

We (Arista) were one of the early adapters of the CI systems. We built our
system based upon the Neutron requirements as of late last year/early this
year. Our CI has been up and operational since January of this year. This
is before (or in parallel to Jay Pipes effort of Zuul based CIs).

We have invested a lot of effort in getting this done. In fact, I helped
many vendors setting up their Jenkin master/slaves, etc.
Additionally, we put an effort in coming up with a patch to support
"recheck" matching - as it was not supported in Gerritt Plugin.
Please see our wiki [1] which has a link to the Google doc describing the
recheck patch.

At the time the requirement was to support "recheck no bug/bug#". Our
system is built to support this syntax.
The current Neutron Third party test systems are described in [2] and if
you look at the requirements described in [3], it states that a single
recheck should trigger all test systems.

Having said that, I understand the rationale of your argument. on this
thread, and actually agree with your point.
I have seen similar comments on various ML threads.

My suggestion is that this should be done in a coordinated manner so that
everybody understands the requirements, rather than simply throwing it on
the mailing list and assuming it is accepted by everybody. This is what
leads to the confusion. Some people will take it as a marching orders,
others may miss the thread and completely miss the communication.

Kyle Mestry (Neutron PTL) and Edgar Magana (Neutron Core) are proposing a
session at Kilo Summit in Paris to cover third party CI systems.
I would propose that you please coordinate with them and get your point of
view incorporated into this session. I have copied them both on this email
so that they can share their wisdom on the subject as well.

Thanks for all the good work by you and the infra team - making things
easier for us.

regards..
