Did a lot of work/testing roundtrips to enable this both on master and system versions (had to change some stuff so that system version can run in the container with a real file system layout): https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/udtc-trusty-tests/2192/testReport/. Now at 828 tests running \o/ 15:35 <didrocks> - add --remove as a global option in addition to a framework one (so umake --remove <category> <framework> works as well as umake <category> <framework> --remove). 15:35 <didrocks> - add --version support returning current ubuntu make version (different versioning scheme if released, if from branch, if from branch + dirty content, if from branch without git installed…) + backed by tests. 15:35 <didrocks> - ensure decompressor and download manager handle both well multiple decompressions/downloads in parallel with the BaseInstaller framework (will be used for Twine).

Adapt tests framework to this new API. 15:35 <didrocks> - misc smaller fixes like more robust medium tests execution, parallel download progress total size reconciliation, zsh env variable removal, variable refactoring… + back them up with tests of course. 15:35 <didrocks> - bugs/feature requests/user questions handling. 15:35 <didrocks> Misc: 15:35 <didrocks> - some NEWing and AA duties. 15:35 <didrocks> . 15:36 <willcooke> didrocks, thanks - whose are the Jenkins servers? 15:36 <willcooke> who is admining them? 15:36 <didrocks> willcooke: the CI team 15:36 <willcooke> nice 15:36 <willcooke> that's great 15:36 <didrocks> however, I have admin rights on it 15:36 <willcooke> :) 15:36 <didrocks> and so, creating/handing my jobs 15:37 <didrocks> (just not messing with their :p) 15:37 <willcooke> nice, thanks for sorting that 15:37 <willcooke> #topic FJKong 15:38 <willcooke> #topic happyaron 15:38 <willcooke> 1.
