Dear Colleagues,
Thanks for your patience while the latest TuxSuite integration issues were worked our during recent weeks. Last of the systematic FVP integration issues were addressed end of last week, and since the last weekend, the system was in the "soft launch" mode to see if there're any remaining issues. Some intermittent issues were addressed during this week. As of now, all the main TF-A CI jobs should be converted, specifically:
* Mainline daily builds * Mainline L1/L2 patch builds * LTS2.8 daily builds * LTS2.8 L1/L2 patch builds
Smaller related issues should also be addressed by now (in particular https://linaro.atlassian.net/browse/TFC-573 "Make sure that Tux test failure leads to Jenkins build being set to Failed status" which a subject of explicit request). But thanks for understanding that we may still need some tweaks here and there during the coming week(s).
We're launching integration with the highly scalable TuxSuite backend well in advance of the next mainline release, and just in time for the anticipated second LTS branch being forked. All that hopefully gives us enough time to test the new system further and make any following adjustments as needed. But my testing shows that the main "selling points" of the new system are already at play - higher scalability and improved stability due to avoidance of common testing bottlenecks we experienced during recent times as TF CI coverage and load grew in high tempo.
Please feel free to share your feedback and/or questions.
Thanks, Linaro TF CI maintenance team
