Hi everyone,

the manuals have been moved to the project specific repositories. I'm wondering what's the best way implement gerrit build verification and publishing the manuals for osmo-gsm-tester.git.

With typical Osmocom projects, we have gerrit-verifications.yml and master-builds.yml, which build the projects when patches land in gerrit and when commits are merged to master. The latter is also able to publish the generated PDFs. No osmo-gsm-tester related jobs are created in both configs so far. Instead, there is a section in osmo-gsm-tester_runner.yml, which generates the osmo-gsm-tester_gerrit job.

This osmo-gsm-tester_gerrit job works differently than the gerrit-verifications and master-builds jobs; they do not seem to have the osmo-ci scripts available (which are used to build and install dependencies and to clean up the workspace). The way I've implemented building and publishing manuals in the other projects makes use of both scripts (the dependency that gets installed is osmo-gsm-manuals, which has the shared manuals content).

So far, the osmo-gsm-tester_gerrit job runs a few smoke test to make sure that the osmo-gsm-tester is not completely broken. It does not do a full run, as this would take 15 hours.

I see the following solutions now: a) remove osmo-gsm-tester_gerrit and add an entry in gerrit-verifications and master-builds instead. Then implement manuals building and publishing just like in the other projects. b) extend osmo-gsm-tester_gerrit to build manuals, without the osmo-ci scripts (so it's maybe 10 more lines of shell code), and create an entry in master-builds for publishing the manuals (together with a new jenkins script, e.g. contrib/jenkins-publish-manuals.sh) c) do not do build the manuals in osmo-gsm-tester_gerrit, but keep that job and add an *additional* job in gerrit-verifications just for building the manuals (also add the same job in master-builds to build and publish the manuals).

Regarding c), I am not sure how this would look like in gerrit. Two jobs would get triggered for each new patch, but jenkins should only give the verification +1 if both jobs ran through - can it do that?
