      • embedded zip file in hudson core - tasks.hpi - need to remove *Milestone 2 release **Main change is removing Groovy ***impacts on security ***tests fixed, just 2 tests in test harness still broken - Matrix (will be fixed after core release) **Geoff has issues ***SVN plugin testing - cannot set usrname/pwd (linux and windows) ***Groovy plugins (one appears to be cascade problem - needs to be forked) ***all logged ***need candidate release by Wednesday ***Duncan will update website for M2 *M3 release themes **plugin review **update centers *java.net release **2 bugs in SVN plugin in Bugzilla - for hudson on eclipse **review core bugs and release 2.2.1 *maven.glassfish.org **redirecting to java.net **there is a workaround to build plugins **Winston, Geoff and Henrik to work offline **Maven3 bug376785 *using Eclipse marketplace for plugins **Duncan not convinced, mostly for Eclipse IDE plugins **fitting into it artificially, not benefits of particular plugins, voting most popular etc *Eclipse contributors **Henrik - protocol - needs to be signed by his employer (not consultants) **Gerrit means he can contribute *Bundled Plugin circular dependency problems **Building without using snapshots has a circular dependency:Hudson war (in core) depends on the plugins, but hudson plugins cannot be built because hudson-plugin-parent isn't built (because core fails too soon) **because changes related to groovy and stapler in this release and no interim releases have been done **after m2-1 staged today it will be stable and no circular deps **resolving the issues of bundled plugins will resolve for the long term. Winston is working on this for M3 *Status of hudson on hudson **URL is http://ci.hudson-ci.org **Duncan to create Henrik a user, he has job scripts for uploading jobs **Duncan to get Sonar latest version setup now disk issues addressed *Status of gerrit usage? (it is available we just need to sign up: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gerrit). **Github replica is over 4 months old - needs Winston to do. *I think we need to redo our Tiers list for the plugins.I see plugins in Tier 2 (Hudson maintained and in addition are tested as part of the QA certification process) but they have moved on and released several Jenkins only versions.Personally I don't consider retesting an outdated version of a plugin to fit a Tier 2 category. I suggest the following Tiers **Core: (All plugins delivered as part of the core) **Tier 1: Plugins (hich signal Hudson support in the pom and which is tested as part of the core release process or hudson-on-hudson. could in theory contain plugins with jenkins only support but we test as part of our release process? **Tier 2: Plugins which signal Hudson support but are responsible for their own QA. Also plugins with jenkins parent but performs QA on Hudson **Tier 3: Plugins which signal Jenkins support but we are performing some install testing or hudson-on-hudson testing. **No Tier: Others *Plugin testing framework ready. **makes matrix jobs for core versions and test cases specify required plugins **make instance with plugins, runs, shuts down **can run on Hudson on Hudson if it can support firefox. - henrik can setup **need to work on how do we get people to use it ie. who will start adding testcases for install tested plugins?
