+ <p>Jenkins is a framework that is used by many companies and open
+ source projects for Continuous Integration (CI). 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. He provided a link to a blog posting where he described
+ his experience.</p>
