Notes

  • News
    • Jenkins on Java 8 deprecation pull requests are in progress
      • Need a Jenkins Enhancement Proposal that plans the transition
        • Documentation updates
        • Compatibility
        • Security
        • Transitions on platform installers (like deb, rpm, msi, etc.)
        • Schedule
      • Alternatives
        • June 2022 as the transition LTS proposed
        • Longer lived release as the last version to support Java 8?
        • Mark discuss in the mailing list, start a plan after the new year
        • JEP to describe the plan, like the Docker image
    • Linux transition from System V init to systemd
      • Inside deb and rpm files, we use System V init to start, stop, and restart
      • All Linux we support now use systemd and have done so for many years
      • Bug on Debian 11 that would be fixed by switching to systemd
      • Proposal from Jesse Glick to simplify the restart process
      • Development is complicated, testing is really complicated
        • Install docs will be affected, systemd configures differently
