[Development] Coin infrastructure changes

[Laszlo Agocs]

Hi,

Are we sure that the week before the 5.10 feature freeze date is really the best time to do this?

Cheers,
Laszlo

Subject: [Development] Coin infrastructure changes

Hi all,

this is mostly for your information. On Wednesday this week (most likely) we're making changes to Coin, potentially leading to some interruptions in integrations.

The longer version:

We've been working towards replacing the underlying virtualization layer in our Continuous Integration infrastructure and have now reached a point where we're ready (as ready as we'll get at least) to switch over from VSphere to OpenNebula. There are a bunch of advantages (not least that we can actually debug issues in OpenNebula/KVM, it'll make the scheduling code in Coin easier, ...).

This will also be the point at which we start to use some of the new hardware that The Qt Company has been purchasing and getting ready, so things will initially be at the same speed and eventually much faster.

We have Qt 5.6 and 5.9 running smoothly, the dev branch currently needs some merges, hopefully we'll get it working really soon now.

Hopefully the process is: stop the system; change branch; restart and things will work. I would expect some hickups when we scale up and run in production mode, so bear with us and report issues, we'll eventually be better off, once things are in shape.

Cheers,
Frederik
