There are several problems that were identified at the last releases =

(4.9 Betas and 4.8.4) and some can be addressed by Jenkins.
What we would need among other things:
- continuous build of stable KDE (was 4.8 branch) against the lowest Qt =

required and against all released dependencies (Soprano in particular =

but all the others as well) - a list of these should be available so =

people can check versions and even tarballs locations

After the 4.8.4 problems I looked at Jenkins and found the kdelibs 4.8 =

built failed for several days (weeks even).
- how are problems reported from Jenkins? to whom? (build problems, =

tests failing problems,...)

- generating tarballs directly from Jenkins: from what you wrote I =

gather this is Allen's task, is there any ETA on this?

- questions I am asking myself about Jenkins: what archs are supported? =

what gcc versions? when will all modules be integrated? are there some =

talks of BoKs at Akademy about this?

There is a lot to do and 1 person + Allen are not enough in my opinion. =

A CI system team should be in relation with the QA Team and the Release =

Team. Do you have a road map?a list of tasks?

Best regards,

Anne-Marie
