Open Stack

Hey guys!

We just finished rolling out the first in a sequence of upcoming changes
to gerrit and jenkins based on needs described at the design summit.

We now have the basic jobs for all of the projects (except for horizon,
because it's slightly different and I want to spend a little more time
with it) applied to jenkins based on some scripts and some yaml files
that are in a git repo. This means that anybody could conceivably do
some hacking and submit a change to gerrit, instead of the current
status quo which is that you have to be a jenkins admin to touch anything.

If you want to look at it, it's all in this dir:

https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ci-puppet/tree/master/modules/jenkins_jobs/files

Additionally, it's grouped/templated, so we've actually got identical
jenkins jobs running for all of the projects... which means we can
hopefully stop running in to the whole "oops, I forgot to update the
glance jobs" situation.

But wait, that's not all ...

By popular demand, as part of rolling out those jobs, we have added
pre-approval check jobs. We are now running merge checks, pep8 checks
and unittest jobs on the patch-uploaded event and reporting the results
into the code review so that people can skip code reviewing patches that
don't work yet. We're also still running tests post-approval so that we
ensure the patch as it is to be merged is still good.

We have several more great bits that will be rolling out in the next
week or two, in the attempt to streamline the set of things that need
review, and also speed up the testing of reviewed things.

Happy hacking
