Re: About Jenkins in Debian

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

So if my understanding is right, Jenkins is highly likely to be
removed from Debian. And the reason behind this is because the release
cycle of Jenkins is way too short and upstream already provides .deb?

So this makes me think about what exactly should be packaged into
Debian. There are not too many softwares providing .deb distributions
in upstream, but what if some of the softwares whose packages are
already in Debian starts to provide upstream .deb, will we still have
the motivation to keep maintaining it? For example, Gradle does not
have .deb in upstream, but SBT does, and Gradle indirectly depends on
SBT, then should we package SBT into Debian as well, which even though
means lots of work?

So what if there are some new packages that depends on libraries of
Jenkins and someone wants to package it, what should he do?

By the way, I am not using Jenkins in daily life, I am simply curious. :)

Kai-Chung Yan
