View source for Upgrading Jenkins

Geeklog's [[Test Suite|unit test suite]] is [http://project.geeklog.net:8080/ run automatically] after commits to [http://project.geeklog.net/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/geeklog/ the main Geeklog repository]. This functionality is powered by [http://hudson-ci.org/ Hudson]. Here's a quick description of the procedure to update Hudson:

== Upgrading Hudson ==

# log into Hudson
# click on the '''Manage Hudson''' link (proper permissions required)
# see if it offers any updates
# if it does, click on the "Upgrade Automatically" button
# wait for the download to finish

Now, unlike on some other systems, Hudson has to be restarted ''manually'' to actually use the upgrade you just downloaded:

# log into the server, using the project management account (not your user account)
# do a <tt>ps ax | grep java</tt> to get the pid of the currently running Hudson process
# <tt>kill</tt> it (may take a few seconds to shut down)
# go to the home directory and call up <tt>./hudson.start</tt> to re-start Hudson
# don't panic, as it takes a few seconds for Hudson to come back up

== Upgrading Plugins ==

Upgrading Hudson plugin works pretty much the same way. The only difference is that you go to
:Manage Hudson > Manage Plugins
to check for available updates.
