- Blocks Task #4462: Drop support for Ubuntu 14.04 added
Updated by Davide Pesavento about 6 years ago
Ubuntu is dropping support for i386 server images with 18.04 LTS.
We can do the same (and keep the 16.04 32-bit slaves only), or switch to something else (Debian?) for 32-bit slaves. I recommend the former because, honestly, who cares about 32-bit x86 anymore? (except for embedded systems, but you wouldn't use ubuntu there anyway.) It would be much more useful to add arm/aarch64 slaves to the CI instead of keeping x86 around.

I don't mind dropping i386, provided we have some other 32-bit platform as part of CI. I would be against just dropping, as we will certainly miss issues similar to what we just had with time problems.

Ubuntu 16.04 (32-bit) is supported until April 2021. At that time, we can re-evaluate the relevance of 32-bit platforms.

- Target version set to v0.7
After this, all Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 agents can be retired (unless there are any objections to doing so).
There are objections. At the 2018-03-28 call, we agreed to keep Ubuntu 14.04 supported for a little while longer, at least until we make a release that contains basic support for the v0.3 packet format. This implies keeping the Jenkins agents active for the same period of time, to ensure no breaking changes are merged into the codebase.

Should I retire the 14.04 agents or should we wait and do it in #4462?

Wait, as explained in note-7. You may retire the 17.10 agents though.

Two 18.04 agents are online and connected to Jenkins. I plan to add a third at Memphis in the future.

Are we still planning to keep the 16.04 32-bit agents around now that we have a 32-bit ARM platform?

The Ubuntu 17.10 agents have been retired and the Ubuntu-17.10-64bit platform has been replaced with the Ubuntu-18.04-64bit platform on all applicable projects.

IIRC the consensus was to keep them around for now.

It appears that 18.04 is building things just fine, apart from the standard unit test timeout issues.

The problem is that keeping the 32-bit agents around eats up CPU cycles that could go toward other platforms. Removing them may help prevent weird unit test failures due to CPU contention.

It was decided at the April 30 call to keep 32-bit 16.04 agents around for the time being and revisit the issue when Ubuntu 20.04 is released. Additionally, shutting down the 14.04 agents has been delayed until #4462. Therefore, I believe this issue has been completed.
