RE: install CD (Was RE: Revisiting bundled plugins)

Hi

Is there such option as to have Installation ISO image with the Update center?
This would be nice for places that have to work offline.

http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/ is already mirrored and the servers are expecting heavy traffic. And with the _current_ WAR you already need to hit the UC just to get, say, Git support. So I do not think this is a reason to bloat the standard download.

It is always possible to produce an ISO image of Jenkins with the top
200 plugins preinstalled for overnight mailing of CDs to benighted regions of the world, such as central Massachusetts. :-)

Also I agree with Daniel that we should not “check by default”
traditionally bundled plugins without a good reason, i.e., other than compatibility for upgrades of split plugins. How many people really use `external-monitor-job`, or even know what it does? This is just a feature that Kohsuke at some point (years ago) decided would be neat to implement, and happened to put in core. Certainly does not have as broad appeal as, say, `matrix-project` (currently bundled), or `cloudbees-folder` (currently not). Yet it clutters everyone’s _New Item_ screen with a mysterious option.

Currently there is no ISO images. ISO image could be packed, but what do you expect to see there? 

I doubt there are much advantages for a clean Jenkins there. Jenkins + a set of plugins could be packed in such way using Juseppe or other such things. It also needs a customized installer for each platform. It could be done, but the required efforts are quite big.
