Andrew, your email reads like a plea for help with OpenBMC project
infrastructure (systems that host OpenBMC servers for Gerrit, Jenkins,
and related CI). If so, it may help to understand the current
configuration. Here is my understanding:
- GitHub (source code mirror), hosted by GitHub at
https://github.com/openbmc (various repos).
- Gerrit (code review tool), hosted by
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz (and redirected from gerrit.openbmc.org).
- Jenkins (CI server), hosted by https://openpower.xyz, proposal to
move to a new server at https://jenkins.openbmc.org.
- Various CI build and test servers (run jobs on different hardware
architectures).
- See history in
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2016-July/004280.html
Then reading questions into the email:
* Are community members comfortable with these Gerrit and Jenkins
servers in terms of ownership and administration privileges?
* Should we have a larger variety of CI servers?
* Do we need help administering these servers (workload: reboot
servers, update Jenkins version, restart CI jobs, etc.)?
* What are the project ideals?
> ps: gerrit.openbmc.org will also redirect to our gerrit in case anyone
> was interested.
