Purpose:
* manage releases through a minimum number of rake tasks
* simplify building of snapshot builds
* create staged artifacts, candidates for releases, that required no changes to become releases
* this means the snapshot release process will not involve publishing gems, therefore:
* the gem artifacts should only be published to rubygems as a final artifact, at the time of GA
Changes:
* release artifacts no longer depend on gems of core components
* all core components are used locally AS-IS to minimize code changes between snapshot, RC and GA
* `versions.yml` describes the versions of all logstash parts and package
* `rake version:set[version]` manage the yaml file and push the changes to the gemspecs/version.rb files
* `rake version:set_plugin_api[version]` manage the yaml file and push the changes to the gemspecs/version.rb files
* `rake artifact:all` generates SNAPSHOT artifacts: tar.gz, zip, rpm, deb
* `RELEASE=1 rake artifact:all` creates release candidate artifacts + 4 gems: logstash-core, logstash-core-event, logstash-core-event-java and logstash-core-plugin-api
implements #5416 and #5414Fixes#5460
* make sure downloaded logstashes use the new (arch independant files name)
* add specific privileged bootstrap script for debian 8 that is able to install java8 for this distro
* wrap the bootstrap scripts within the platform class, like this logic is in one specific place to select platform specific components
* add platform specific bootstrap file for sles-12 and also scripts to download latest logstash rpm version
* add custom bootstrap script for ubuntu-1404 to be sure it loads all ca certificates into the system
* make the necessary changes to compile with the new package system
* correct logstash path usage
* remove unnecessary dependancy to rake inside the acceptance test framework
* fix script execution under ubuntu environments, making sure it runs on bash
Fixes#5350
Some other minor changes include:
* add back the user level boostrap scripts, useful in that case to pull latest released LS
* cleanup formatting for specs and fixed bootstrap scripts for redhats
* make the latest logstash version available from the current platform config file
* make sure debian based machines use java8
* make sure to use hostname and not just ip:port address when reporting the names
Fixes#5350
Also:
* Refactored the specs organization to make the resoning behind simplier,
introducing the idea of an artifact subject that it wraps the
interactions with the platform.
* Add methods to destroy, bootstrap and halt a list of machines either all of them or the ones listed under a given platform name.
* Introduced more clear namespacing in the rakefile.
* Updated the list of available platforms for acceptance testing, including latest ubuntu, oel, fedora, debian and suse versions
Fixes#5350
This change introduce a new command ci/ci_acceptance which is
responsable of building the packages, bootstraping the acceptance test
environment, launching the VMs and running the tests.
You can use the following command to target specific platform.
```
ci/ci_acceptance.sh all
ci/ci_acceptance.sh centos
ci/ci_acceptance.sh debian
```
This PR also add a new rake task to build all the artifacts in a single
run called rake artifact:all it make sure we only install the plugin
only once and make the build process faster.
Fixes#5350
