Greetings,
Just a few points to help keep you informed.
HIPP - Hudson Instance Per Project
We've rolled out the ability to start/stop/restart your HIPP
instances. You can access it via the Site Login/My account page at
https://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/myaccount.php
HIPP instances are proving themselves very stable and don't
typically require restarts. In fact, the stability of the shared
Hudson instance has much improved as projects have migrated to HIPP.
We plan on implementing a self-serve upgrade for HIPP images,
allowing projects to upgrade to the latest Hudson version at their
own convenience.
Gerrit: more than just code review
We've been offering the
Gerrit
code review system for a while now, but did you know you can:
- "watch" project activity, just like you watch Bugzilla activity:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/settings/projects
- bypass code review altogether if you're a committer
- integrate Gerrit and your HIPP instance for continuous
integration, even on code contributions
Using Gerrit makes sense even if you don't wish to use code review.
It allows potential contributors to watch your project and
facilitates code contributions. Please consider enabling it on your
code repos by filing
a bug.
cGit now supports Markdown
Our
web-based Git browser,
cGit, was recently upgraded. It now supports a generic "about" page
using Markdown, HTML or plain text. By placing a
README.md,
README.html or other[1] in the root of your repo, the About tab will
render the page as seen here:
https://git.eclipse.org/c/z_webmaster/testhook.git/about/
The
README.md for that repository is available here:
https://git.eclipse.org/c/z_webmaster/testhook.git/tree/
Thanks for reading. If you have any questions, comments or
concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at
webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx.
