[jenkins] more history on jenkin builds

[Stefan Egli <st...@apache.org>]

Hi,

Are there particular reasons against having a larger history (number) of
jenkins builds (eg at [0])? Sometimes useful to go back more than 1-2 days..

If not, who could change this (I don't seem to have the karma)?

Cheers,
Stefan

I think it's less disk space and more Jenkins memory with e.g. the
console output.

Done, let's see how that turns out :-)

Do we know how much a build needs in terms of disk space? I would have
assumed that it keeps only the test/console results not the workspaces -
in which case it should be rather small - but I'm not sure.

Depends on the above I guess - and with the assumption that it uses only
very little space, I would have suggested 50 :)

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I guess it's limited to not overload Jenkins ( both memory and disk
space ) with history. However, I think we can increase it temporarily
for debugging.

I can make this change ( but can't grant you karma ) . Right now we keep
the last 10 builds. How many builds do you think we should keep?

I think you can also search in the mail archives for failures, but
that's not always easy.
