[platform-releng-dev] Notice for those using Gerrit and Hudson builds

["David M Williams" <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Team, 

I have, just this morning created the
jobs to "deploy" the 4.7 parent and prereqs AND the corresponding
4.6.1 parent and 4.6.1 prereqs. These were important for "Gerrit triggered"
Hudson jobs -- especially for the maintenance builds. 

And now it is *your* turn. As the "Gerrit/Hudson"
jobs are typically created and maintained by each project team, many projects
may need to update their Gerrit triggers to work off of "master"
and "R4_6_maintenance". There was at least one this morning that
had "master" and "R4_5_maintenance". [BTW, if you use
the same job to do both master and maintenance, it is more important that
you "clean" (remove) the localMavenRepo and perhaps the "gitCache"
(I am less sure about the latter one ... not sure how well Hudson deals
with that).] 

Just wanted to be clear there is no
one person tasked to "fix all Gerrit jobs" and the committers
who use the jobs are responsible for it -- they are pretty much "self
service" jobs. Of course, myself or other release engineers (or other
committers which happen to be Gerrit/Hudson experts) would glad to help
answer questions if we can. 

I hope that is helpful information.
