Retiring jenkins.esss.dk

[milnowak]

We're in the final stages of decommissioning Jenkins, and we've given the go-ahead to the infrastructure team to remove the instance.

I noticed that a Jenkins job was triggered for this project today, which raised a flag. Are there any remaining dependencies on Jenkins for this project? I see that documentation is now handled via GitHub actions, just want to make sure we're not missing anything.

Hi @milnowak, I think documentation is still generated by jenkins and push to github pages. If you would like you remove jenkins it would be good to move documentation generator into github actions.

But I think any how this jenkins action was not triggered correctly I had to do it manually anyhow. So I think there no problem to remove jenkins

Namely,

          cd docs

          git config remote.origin.fetch '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'

          git fetch
          git checkout gh-pages
          git pull
          mkdir -p ./latest && shopt -u dotglob && rm -rf ./latest/*
          mv -f ../build/doc/build/* ./latest/
          mv -f ../build/doc/doxygen_html ./latest/api_reference/doxygen
          mv -f ../build/doc/index.html ./
          find ./ -type d -name "CMakeFiles" -prune -exec rm -rf {} \\;
          find ./ -name "Makefile" -exec rm -rf {} \\;
          find ./ -name "*.cmake" -exec rm -rf {} \\;
          rm -rf ./latest/_sources
          git add -A
          git commit --amend -m 'Auto-publishing docs from Jenkins build ${BUILD_NUMBER} for branch ${BRANCH_NAME}'

and similar code for docs_ branches

          cd docs

          git config remote.origin.fetch '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'

          git fetch
          git checkout gh-pages
          git pull
          mkdir -p ./${version} && shopt -u dotglob &&  rm -rf ./${version}/*
          mv -f ../build/doc/build/* ./${version}/
          mv -f ../build/doc/doxygen_html ./${version}/api_reference/doxygen
          find ./ -type d -name "CMakeFiles" -prune -exec rm -rf {} \\;
	  find ./ -name "Makefile" -exec rm -rf {} \\;
          find ./ -name "*.cmake" -exec rm -rf {} \\;
          rm -rf ./${version}/_sources
          git add -A
          git commit --amend -m 'Auto-publishing docs from Jenkins build ${BUILD_NUMBER} for branch ${BRANCH_NAME}'

but it is not problem to move it to github actions. Then it would be easier to fix the action on new tag (which is not triggered) i.e.

              sh 'cd $PROJECT && git checkout -b docs_$RLVERSION && ./push_to_repo.sh $USERNAME $PASSWORD'
              sh 'cd $PROJECT && git checkout docs_stable && git reset --hard master && ./push_to_repo.sh $USERNAME $PASSWORD'
