• The beginning of a new era: Ruby plugins now a reality

  It’s not often that I get to use that much hyperbole in a Jenkins blog post, but I think in this case it’s allowable. A journey that started over a year ago by Charles Lowell has reached a new level, thanks to lots of help from Kohsuke along with Hiroshi Nakamura and Jørgen Tjernø. As of today, with Jenkins 1.438, you...

• Building a software diamond with Jenkins

  [Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from Jenkins community member Tom Rini] Alternatively: How to make your parallel jobs kick one last job at the end Many of us have had occasion to think: "I could make this project build quicker if I could just run parts in parallel and then one final job to wrap it up."

• Hosting your Hudson plugin at Github

  For as long as Hudson’s had a plugin model and development community, we’ve provided source code and binary hosting through our Subversion repo at java.net. But what if you’re a plugin developer and you don’t want to use Subversion? Well, we have an alternative for your source code: host it with Hudson on GitHub. To get this in place, send an...

• Continuous Deployment on the new Digg

  In my capacity as Build Guy at Digg, I’ve written up a blog post on our new continuous deployment/code review/pre-tested commit workflow.

  Hudson, like all web applications, is not immune from vulnerabilities that could open up attack vectors for malicious use. What puts Hudson in a league of its own compared to others is its ability to execute arbitrary commands on agent machines, or in the case of the EC2 plugin, execute arbitrary commands "in the cloud." In light of all this,...
