[Development] CI maintenance break next weekend 4 - 5 Mar 2017

[Tony Sarajärvi]

Hi all!

The maintenance break is over.
Qt 5.8, 5.9 and dev are building already.

For 5.6 we might have a small problem with provisioning openSUSE 13.1. Coin didn't connect to the agent on my previous test yesterday. I'll try to sort this one out ASAP.

Also Windows 8 builds might suffer from provisioning passing even though there are provisioning errors in the log. Something we have to have a look at.  https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTQAINFRA-1178

All in all, I'm quite certain the CI will be more stable from now on. We removed a lot of complexity in the OS images we use and recovered over 15 TB of wasted space on our Compellent.

Have fun!
-Tony

Hi

We have scheduled a maintenance break for the CI next weekend. This will cause the CI to be totally offline at least during Sat and could extend over Sun as well.

We've planned to do extensive wipe or cleanup to local stored distro images. We have accumulated garbage over the years and the only way to find them is to do deep cleanup.

We'll achieve this by wiping all provisioned images and re-cloning the important vanilla templates over to safe location.
The builds that are triggered right after we come back online will re-create the provisioned images back again.

We will also update vSphere while at it.

Regards,
-Tony
