• Pre-tested commits with Git

  At the first Bay Area Hackathon in mid-2009, the topic du jour was "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...

• Kohsuke leaves Sun

  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,...

• Regarding the start of April

  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...

• Screencast: Python on Hudson (Part 1)

  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...

• Hudson 1.353 Released

  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...

• Resurgence of Releng

  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...

• This Week in Plugins

  I apologize for the lack of posts this week, I’ve been quite pre-occupied and a quirk in the twipFromSvn.py script prevented the generation of this post’s contents earlier; thanks to rpetti it works again! This week was an interesting week in plugin development, a slight regression in the release of Jabber notifier plugin 1.7 resulted in the rapid release of a...

• Links for 2010-03-23

  While I work on some screencasts and start to get more "Spotlight" interviews lined up, I figured it’s time for a link roll-up for your Tuesday morning reading. We caught a glimpse of a little Java scoreboard app for Hudson from @davefollett Matt Patterson of Reprocessed.org wrote a great post on continuous integration with Rails with Hudson, running both Rspec and Selenium...
