Jenkins server setup

Installed software

The software that was installed on our Ubuntu testing server (jenkins.inkscape.org).

   apt-get install emacs24-nox

Inkscape build dependencies

   apt-get install bazaar
   apt-get build-dep inkscape
   apt-get install autopoint

Several packages for our Jenkins jobs

For scan-build static analysis:

   apt-get install clang-3.5

For render testing (we need a modified version of perceptualdiff that can handle transparency!!!):

   apt-get install libfreeimage3 libopenjpeg2 libraw9

So we have to build our own version of perceptualdiff...

   perceptualdiff download/patch/build instructions here

For building 2Geom:

   apt-get install cmake

For 2Geom documentation:

   apt-get install doxygen
   apt-get install graphviz

Install Jenkins

Follow the instructions on Jenkins wiki:

   wget -q -O - https://jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -
   sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian binary/ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install jenkins

   sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins start

Jenkins is now accessible through port 8080.

Setup Jenkins

We should be able to store Jenkins' config in an SCM, but didn't spend the time to figure that out.

• Manage Jenkins -> Global security
  • Enable security
  • Access control -> Jenkins' own user database, allow users to sign up. Anyone can do anything. Save.
• Sign yourself up.
• Back to Global security
  • Access control -> Authorization -> matrix-based security.
    • Add your username to the matrix and give yourself full auth.
    • The anonymous user needs "Read" rights on:
      • Overall . Read
      • Job . Read
      • View . Read
  • Access control -> disallow users to sign up (no reason for it, and may confuse people)
  • Save.

Installed Jenkins plugins

Manage Jenkins -> Plugin Manager.

• Bazaar plugin
• Shared workspace plugin
• Clang Scan-build Plugin
• Coverity plugin
• Doxygen plug-in
• HTML Publisher Plugin
• xUnit Plugin

Config Jenkins some more

• Manage Jenkins -> Configure System
• Doxygen installations
  • name: doxygen
  • path: /usr/bin/doxygen (ignore the warning, you need the executable in there)

Before setting up Inkscape and 2Geom jobs

We first need to set up shared workspaces, so we can spread the tasks over several jobs.

• Manage Jenkins -> Configure system -> Workspace sharing
• Add Inkscape shared workspace
  • name: inkscape_trunk
  • repo: lp:inkscape
• Add 2Geom shared workspace
  • name: lib2geom_trunk
  • repo: lp:lib2geom

Jobs

Now you can set up jobs. We will have to save the jobs settings somewhere... Hard work to type it all out here.

TO DO

• figure out how to reroute traffic such that jenkins.inkscape.org works instead of only jenkins.inkscape.org:8080
