### Sep 23, 2022

Attending:

- Mark Waite
- Bruno Verachten

Agenda:

- Open action items:
  - Agents of [ci.jenkins.io](http://ci.jenkins.io) on ppc64le
    - Mark needs to share credentials with infrastructure team
    - Needs more work after DevOps World

- RISC-V support for Jenkins agents - Bruno Verachten
  - Bruno should receive an [MQ-Pro](https://mangopi.cc/mangopi_mqpro) from Michael Hurt who organized a [giveaway](https://mingusdude.blogspot.com/2022/09/free-mango-pi-mq-pro-riscv-sbc-anti.html#more)
  - [Armbian Linux](https://bret.dk/armbian-on-the-mangopi-mq-pro/) is working on that board
  - JDK is [available](https://builds.shipilev.net/openjdk-jdk-riscv/) for RISC-V, even if it is still unstable.
  - Docker seems to be [available](http://c) too.

- Container image deprecation for the blueocean container (jenkinsci:blueocean)
  - Need to announce the deprecation of the image
    - Update the page on Dockerhub
    - Add to a Jenkins LTS changelog or upgrade guide?
    - Add a disclaimer to one or more pages on [www.jenkins.io](http://www.jenkins.io)?
      - Update the 2017 Blue Ocean blog post with deprecation notice?
      - content/blog/2017/01/2017-01-13-blueocean-dev-log-jan.adoc

  - Find a way to communicate the deprecation to users and admins
    - Jenkins administrative monitor that checks for specific container content?

  - Report it on it regularly in Platform SIG meetings
  - Create an issue that proposes the deprecation and the needed steps

- Container repository management for Jenkins agents
  - Simplifying the release process
    - Multiple repositories and multiple images from those repositories
    - Releases are complicated unnecessarily
      - Adding arm64 for docker images was too complicated

  - Combining the repositories to simplify image management
    - Need more detailed plan and design
    - Cannot drop support for the existing containers
      - Retain the container structure, but remain compatible

  - Separate repository for Jenkins agents with tools installed
    - Not actively maintained, many of the containers are still using Java 8, won’t work with most recent LTS, they need to be upgraded
      - Download metrics are available from Dockerhub, could use those measure to prioritize the effort

  - Topic for discussion at Jenkins Contributor Summit or near the Summit

- [Require Java 11](https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-67688) or newer for Jenkins core
  - Ongoing minor tasks
    - Dropping Java 8 from the Docker agents - merged, not yet released
    - Plugins beginning to require Java 11, ongoing process

  - Many resources available to help users as they upgrade
    - Maven job type is still advised against, but can be used …
      - See the [CloudBees post for Maven job type](https://docs.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-ci-kb/latest/client-and-managed-masters/maven-jobs-and-java-versions-compatibility)

- Java 17 support in Jenkins
  - Ongoing, a few recent reports, working well
  - Jenkins infra planning to put one or more of the infra machines on JDK 17

- Java 19 has released
  - Is illegal access now blocked?
  - Groovy upgrade may be required to remove illegal access warnings

- DevOps World Sep 26-29, 2022 Orlando
  - [Agenda](https://community.jenkins.io/t/jenkins-contributor-summit-2022-agenda-orlando-florida/3579) is available for Tuesday Sep 26, 2022
