Removal of Jenkinsfiles from the repository

[im-konge]

Hi,
for longer time, we are not using the Jenkinsfile inside this repository, so it was removed in #11196.
I'm curious if we can do the same for PPC and Z architectures?

cc @kun-lu20 and @Vaibhav-Nazare as you did the latest changes to the READMEs. It seems that available Jenkins instances contains just these jobs and from my POV it is not much maintained (regarding the failures). Based on the current pipeline config it also relies on unmaintained plugin so maybe you can think about better way how to run the tests on ppc and s390x?

[Vaibhav-Nazare]

We are currently discussing with the team how to move forward with running tests on ppc. Once we have a plan, we will share the updates.
Let us know if you have suggestions in the meantime!

Hello,

We do monitor the s390x nightly builds, as mentioned in the readme. This does help us to catch and fix errors early.

Hello, We are currently testing the setup. I will keep you updated. Thanks.

Hey @linuxonz , perfect, thanks for the effort :) please let me know if you need any help from us or how is it going.

@Vaibhav-Nazare @linuxonz Hi, any update on the migration? We are getting reports about CVEs and deprecated stuff on your Jenkins instance (plus the Jenkinsfiles as I mentioned before).
If there is no update in a week, I will have to proceed with deletion of those files in order to resolve this critical CVE.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi @im-konge, we are good with the deletion of those files from Power side.

Hi @im-konge, We will raise PR for updating Readme with build status badge for s390x once we are ready. You can go ahead with the deletion of existing Jenkinsfile.
