Historically, our fearless leader Kohsuke has blogged on Java.net. The setup made a whole lot of sense when Kohsuke was employed by Sun, then Oracle, which sponsors and runs Java.net. In a post earlier this week discussing console markups, Kohsuke casually pointed out that he will be cross-posting to Java.net, and his personal blog located at kohsuke.org. The first post over on Kohsuke.org welcomes...
At the first Bay Area Hackathon in mid-2009, the topic du jour was "https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Designing+pre-tested+commit[pre-tested commits]." As potential implementations of the concept were discussed over burgers from Brickhouse in downtown San Francisco, we realized as a group a few things: first, those burgers were delicious, but more importantly: pre-testing commits is very-SCM dependent and involves a lot of moving parts. One of the positive changes...
Those of you on the users@ or dev@ mailing lists have likely already read that Kohsuke (left in the photo), the founder of the Hudson project, is leaving Sun. I say that he is leaving Sun, instead of leaving Oracle as Kohsuke worked at Sun for nine years and Oracle only a few months. In those nine years at Sun, Kohsuke has worked on...
I had briefly contemplating what sort of silly posts I could write to celebrate April Fool’s Day, when I sat down to write out some of them, I got a few sentences in and decided that they just weren’t funny enough. Either I have very high standards, or I’m terribly unfunny. The web is awash with April Fool’s articles, comics, headlines and everything else, so...
/https://agentdero.cachefly.net/continuousblog/java-evil-edition.png" alt="java evil edition">There have been numerous discussions on the mailing lists over the past couple months regarding memory issues, speed regressions and a number of other issues regarding performance of Hudson, particularly under high load. In an effort to address these concerns, the Hudson core team has https://web.archive.org/web//https://agentdero.cachefly.net/continuousblog/just-kidding.jpg[announced] a roadmap for Hudson 2.0. In a message to the dev@ mailing list, Kohsuke said of...
After Hudson got some major publicity at PyCon Atlanta 2010 I haven’t been as quick as I would have liked with Python-related posts and tutorials. I use Hudson to build and test a number of pure Python modules and C extensions across numerous Python versions (covering 2.4 - 3.1). For most beginners, or those simply looking to get started with Python on Hudson, starting...
This week’s release comes slightly later than usual and is mostly a clean-up of a few bugs. Due to a problem with the Kohsuke’s GitHub mirror of Hudson’s core, I can’t mine the commits for interesting information as per usual so you’ll just have to trust that Hudson 1.353 is chock full of good, wholesome bug fixes. If the problem persists next week, I’ll...
A few weeks ago I passed a job listing that I had found through one of my many Google Alerts for Hudson-related queries to Andrew (abayer), following up on one of those job listings Andrew recently signed an offer to join the nice folks over at Digg to be their resident "build guy." On its own I thought "great for Andrew!" and nothing more,...
