[Blueprint server-o-jenkins] Get Jenkins into the Ubuntu Archive

[James Page]

Blueprint changed by James Page:

Whiteboard changed:
- Current Status: UNBLOCKED
+ Current Status: Slow Progress
  
- Issues upstream in Debian with Eclipse (and the fact that eclipse-
- platform is not currently installable) mean that aspectj can't be
- manually bootstrapped into oneiric which unlocks new versions of spring
- that are required for spring-ldap which are required for Jenkins.  This
- only happened on Monday so timing was bad as LaMont tried the bootstrap
- Monday afternoon.
- 
- Will work around this issue where possible but will slow down until this
- unblocks.
+ Jenkins and all dependencies are either now in the archive or waiting
+ for review in the NEW queue.

  UDS Session Notes
  
  Discussion:
    - Approach to plugins;
      - packaging recipe?
          Documentation to be polished
      - disable Jenkins upstream plugin manager?
          Not by default but ensure can be disabled and that this is documented well.
      - build from source?
          where possible - look at most popular plugins and assess top 5.
  
    - Delivery approach:
      - Debian or Ubuntu first?
          Ubuntu then Debian - will get better testing coverage if it hits Oneiric earlier.
      - Sponsorship burden - large number of packages.
          Target universe, spread the burden as wide as possible in Ubuntu.
  
    - Jenkins Nuances:
       - Package variants - OK
       - Hudson polutiom - OK
  
  Target 1.400.1 when delivered by upstream.
