Intrepid Hudson user Christian Pelster posted a little project of his this week to the "users" mailing list called: hudsontrafficlights. Christian describes the project as: This Java based daemon aggregates the status of one or more jobs from a Hudson continuous integration server into a single status (red, yellow, green) and invokes a shell script on status change. You can use hudsontrafficlights to control a USB traffic...

People often configure Hudson to start a new build whenever a change is made to the repository. In fact, this is often considered central to the practice of continuous integration. There are two ways to achieve this. One is the "pull" model, where Hudson periodically reaches out to a Subversion repository to see if there is any changes. The other is the "push" model, where...

Hello again! It’s been a long time since I’ve written for the Hudson community, but now I’m back and ready to tackle some of the latest developments in the Hudson community. What is Hudson Labs? As you may have read in April, Kohsuke left Oracle to found InfraDNA, a company specializing around Hudson. The departure meant the Hudson community would no longer have access to some...

The release of 1.355 came out earlier this week but I hadn’t had the chance to write anything up about it. Of course, the work never stops on Hudson so we almost have 1.356 ready to roll out the door, but then Kohsuke tweeted this: Because of the data center migration going on, I won’t be able to release #hudsonci today. I won’t go into details...

Hear ye, hear ye! Behold, the first release of Hudson ever made by a not-employed-by-Sun Kohsuke (as we covered last week). This iteration of Hudson contains only bug fixes, check the listing below for the specifics on which bugs have been fixed (1.355 is looking like it will contain a number of fixes as well). The release of 1.354 comes slightly later than usual...

Historically, our fearless leader Kohsuke has blogged on Java.net. The setup made a whole lot of sense when Kohsuke was employed by Sun, then Oracle, which sponsors and runs Java.net. In a post earlier this week discussing console markups, Kohsuke casually pointed out that he will be cross-posting to Java.net, and his personal blog located at kohsuke.org. The first post over on Kohsuke.org welcomes...

At the first Bay Area Hackathon in mid-2009, the topic du jour was "https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Designing+pre-tested+commit[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 of the positive changes...

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, Kohsuke has worked on...
