At my talk at the Italian RubyDay on continuous integration I received huge critiques for endorsing a Java solution for ruby CI. My point was that Jenkins was far more complete ( at the time of the presentation) of any full ruby stack CI product. This news is a fine Christmas present. This tells me that people clever than me share some of my views

Was the critique valid in any way, or was it just because it was written in Java and not Ruby?

fullmoon• 15 years ago

Which makes it invalid how? Think of a ruby dev team and the wish to extend the CI server?

Mainly yes.. shouts like " Java sxx" " I hate Java". The most relevant may be to resource usage: Jenkins would require more resources than the production machine in mid sized project. But in a world of commodity HW I'don't think this is a real issue

> Janky requires access to a Jenkins server

Looks like it's based on Java.

"Just use Hudson" (or Jenkins) is generally the sentiment in the Python world too (http://jenkins-ci.org/content/hudson-pycon).

The only problem with Jenkins I have is the use of Java implementation of Subversion, which lags behing the official version.

Notable especially because GitHub had their own CI server: CI Joe https://github.com/defunkt/cijoe

Scroll to "Does GitHub use cijoe?"

> No. We use Jenkins.

Does it work without campfire? (regarding Hubot-control)

alastairpat• 15 years ago

The Readme.md seems to imply that the Campfire configuration variables are non-optional, so it would seem not.

Sounds like a fork waiting to happen, though.

yeah heroku requirement as well WTF, when they are saying Rackspace Cloud at bottom of every pages.

There's some Hubot forks to allow it to work over IRC or XMPP.

david_a_r_kemp• 15 years ago

How is this a CI Server? it looks like a hubot interface to Jenkins

bonzoesc2• 15 years ago

It is; that's mostly what people want.

Well, it's not every day that GitHub releases a product that competes directly with my young startup. Thankfully, it's still very DIY, which is the opposite of what my customer development has told me is important. So a sigh of relief from me.
