Process

send an email to wikitech-l about host being upgraded and service under maintenance

Stop Apache
Stop Jenkins

Backup!!!

Backup the following directories (and maybe do a full backup of the 46GB as well)
- /home
- /var/lib/jenkins (roughly 40GB)
- /srv
Need to make sure dotfiles are included ;-)

Upgrade

Get puppet to run. Will reinistall a half working copy of jenkins.

Stop Jenkins
Drop /var/lib/jenkins and replaces it with the /var/lib/jenkins backup
Start Jenkins

Jenkins should be available at https://integration.mediawiki.org/ci/

Stuff that need packaging

Android SDK

Android SDK needs to be packaged. It is, as of Oct 2012, in /home/hashar which is not really ideal :-]

Should probably install android on a local machine then build a dumb package that will simply install all files under /opt/androidsdk

PHPUnit upgrade

PHPUnit is installed from PEAR repository. The Ubuntu provided packages are too old. There is a watch file in the Debian package, so we could probably easily create a PHPUnit 3.7.8 packages using uscan and uupdate.

PHP 5.3.2

optional would be nice to get PHP 5.3.2 instead of PHP 5.3.10. 5.3.2 is the minimal version supported by MediaWiki.
