Re: [science-iwg] Using github issues

[Christopher Brooks <cxh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right, sorry for the imprecise text.

When I wrote that there is a "move to switch", my meaning was that it was under discussion.   I was using the term "move" as in Robert's Rules, where someone moves a motion, which gets approved or not approved. 

I gleaned this from various bugs, probably the best one was:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336262 :

Bug 336262 - Hudson or Jenkins, what to do with the CI instance at eclipse.org

I thought there was another bug that discussed this topic, but I'm not finding it right now.

Jenkins seems more active to me than Hudson these days.

The history of Jenkins and Hudson is interesting, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins_%28software%29#History :

During November 2010, an issue arose in the Hudson community with respect to the infrastructure used, which grew to encompass questions over the stewardship and control by Oracle.^[7] Negotiations between the principal project contributors and Oracle took place, and although there were many areas of agreement a key sticking point was the trademarked name "Hudson",^[8] after Oracle claimed the right to the name and applied for a trademark in December 2010.^[9] As a result, on January 11, 2011, a call for votes was made to change the project name from "Hudson" to "Jenkins".^[10] The proposal was overwhelmingly approved by community vote on January 29, 2011, creating the Jenkins project.^[11][12]

On February 1, 2011, Oracle said that they intended to continue development of Hudson, and considered Jenkins a fork rather than a rename.^[13] Jenkins and Hudson therefore continue as two independent projects, each claiming the other is the fork. As of December 2013, the Jenkins organisation on GitHub had 567 project members and around 1,100 public repositories,^[14] compared with Hudson's 32 project members and 17 public repositories.^{[15][original research?]}

I'm fine with using Hudson in the near term, though there are some plugins that I would like to see installed under the Eclipse CI installation that seem to be Jenkins only.  I'll look into this more at some point.

Do you have a source for that?

I'm a bit surprised, since Hudson is now an Eclipse project.
