Background:
...
sipXecs use a distribute CI architecture where both master and slaves are configured as Amazon EC2 instances. Master role is to invoke builds on slave machines (configured as new instances at build time in case of nightly builds or as predefined slave containing Hudson agent and launched via execution of SSH command on master: Manage Hudson > Manage Nodes > ci-slave1.sipfoundry.org). No build is performed on master instance.
Security
sipXecs CI server is integrated with Crowd (meaning that you can use same JIRA or wiki account to login in its console ). At this moment only the following groups (besides administrators with full control) are granted with access (list is open and will be modified based on community feedback): sipXecs-commiters and sipXecs-developers can start new builds and see current jobs status.
Notifications
sipXecs CI make use of email (on build success and failure, before starting a new build) and IRC (channel #sipx) notifications.
Type of builds
At the moment there are two type of builds performed by sipXecs CI server:
...

The following actions are available in Hudson console (if you have proper rights):
- Build on demand: If you want to invoke a new build for a given project you can easily accomplish this (if you are in the group of authorized users) within the Hudson administration console. Click on the project name you want to build and proceed with "Build Now" link - a new entry will appear under Build History section.
- Console Output (available per specific build):
- Display Changes (per job and per specific build):
- Browse Workspace:
