Discussion: Should we depreciate/remove Jenkins?

[fewyn]

Really what the title says... GitHub handles pretty much everything Jenkins does these days and it has seem to proven confusing where/how to download the latest build as of late.

Just a little history Jenkins came around as an evolution from a bash script I wrote to build mafia via a cron job a long while back which is an even further evolution of people manually building mafia and posting it on the forums daily or more often for people to download.

Opinions?

I have no issues with removing Jenkins.

I will say that on the rare occasions when I need a specific version of a jar it is easier for me to find it here than on GitHub. We might consider documenting how to do that or just having links here that people can follow.

Operator error

Releases · kolmafia/kolmafia

KoLmafia is a cross-platform desktop tool which interfaces with the online adventure game Kingdom of Loathing 🗡️🍸 - kolmafia/kolmafia

github.com

so maybe that's a stronger endorsement for removing Jenkins.

Since no one really seems to see a reason (nor I) to keeping it I'll be shutting it down. Probably in a week or so... I'll redirect the URLs directly to the Github page.

I have disabled Jenkins and created a permanent redirect to the Github releases page.

Thanks for all the years of distributing builds!
