Hi,
This sounds good to me.
I wonder if we should have the testing sandboxes use the same version of Jenkins though? If it doesn't we could have deployment failures due to using features from the new version.
Well, I don't know if we reasobaly could hit such situation - we don't really use many of peculiar Jenkins features, so for us, it's mostly core update and bugfixes.
Yeah, it's not that I think that there's a particular thing we are doing that is likely to hit it, it's just the principle of least surprise.
It would be better just to upgrade regularly, because there're indeed nice fixes coming in. On the other hand, I remember I knew how to install specific package version with yum, but figure I don't really know how to do it with apt-get, so may be a good occasion to learn ;-).
apt-get install jenkins=version
Of course this only works if the old version is still available in the archive that we get jenkins from. If that is generally not true then we may want to getting it from a PPA that we control.
That means that upgrade is more than just changing that "=version" as we have to update the PPA too, but it's the direction I think we should be going in.
Thanks,
James
