Hi,

Currently the user accounts on our Hudson instances are fairly
heavyweight, with separate Unix accounts associated with each Hudson
account. Do we need this?


Probably not.


It would be easier if most users had just accounts for the Hudson web
interface, and you'd only get a corresponding Unix account if you
really needed to install extra software on the build servers.

For example, in the projects I'm involved with it would be useful to
give Hudson accounts to all or most of the committers so that they can
better inspect build settings and results, trigger new builds, and set
up new build jobs. None of these operations require command line
access.


Justin, what do you think about offering Hudson webapp logins to any  
committer, but only shell logins to PMC members?

 Also, Gavin can we have ci.apache.org go to a page that  
points to

the

3 CI choices that Apache projects have: Buildbot, Continuum, and

Hudson?


Absolutely, ci.apache.org was created a couple of months back whilst

testing
buildbot and before this amalgamation of CIs list was thought  
about. It

makes sense so I will do that soon, thanks for the suggestion


It might be good to mention this list there as well.

Yep good plan.

A slight change to name to use as the main builds area to go to,
ci.apache.org has been advertised/blogged/tweeted/whatever as  
belonging to

the buildbot setup. I think it is too late now to move that to another
domain. Either way, a new name was needed for either buildbot usage  
or the

main builds area (landing page?).

So, to keep inline with this list name etc, and Wendy proposed on  
IRC that

builds.apache.org would be a better fit for the new area.

If there are no objections I'd like to ask infra if they could set  
that up

for us? (cc:d)

Gav...


Hmm, not crazy about this, but ok.  Not sure why you didn't go with  
buildbot.apache.org.  Taking ci.apache.org seems a little over reaching.
