Much hilarious buggen: url=https://integration.mediawiki.org/ci/ != url=https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/ Authentication fails if you use the latter, which is the string suggested in the docs.

sudo python setup.py develop and python setup.py develop --user fail with

TypeError: dist must be a Distribution instance

on openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle).

So here is what worked for me (using a sudo-bash terminal):

$ cd jenkins-job-builder
$ zypper in python-pip
$ zypper in libyaml-devel
$ zypper in python-devel
$ pip install .
$ python setup.py develop
$ jenkins-jobs

I get the same TypeError: dist must be a Distribution instance in failure Ubuntu 14.04 for both the --user and sudo versions of python setup.py develop command in the instructions. There's no zypper in Ubuntu, so I'm not sure how to proceed. -- S Page (WMF) (talk) 23:12, 31 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Why create a remote named "gerrit"?

edit

"Configure JJB" section says to run

git clone -o gerrit
ssh://gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/integration/jenkins-job-builder-config.git config

Why insist on a remote named "gerrit"? It just causes misery later when every other git command you read tells you to fetch/pull/merge from the remote named origin. If this is actually needed, please say why. -- S Page (WMF) (talk) 23:23, 31 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
