VMS kits are now available at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnv/files/gawk/

VAX/VMS 7.3

These are the first published kits to be built by my Jenkins controlled
build system.

Curious: have you Jenkins running on VMS or on another OS
managing build on VMS?

Jenkins is running on Fedora Core 22. I was not able to get any part of
Jenkins to run on OpenVMS.

The VMS systems share an NFS volume and are controlled by SSH or RSH
depending on the VMS version.

John,

Just curious if you had seen the following:
http://www.slideshare.net/ecubemarketing/why-nxtware-remote-for-jenkins
" Why Jenkins? - Popular Continuous Integration Server – Widely used – Extensible – Ease to use • Multi-platform – Windows, Linux, Unix – But not OpenVMS

7. Why NXTware Remote for OpenVMS? • Brings Continuous integration and Build Automation to OpenVMS – NXTware Remote Server acts as a Jenkins proxy on OpenVMS • NXTware Remote for Jenkins allows developers to – Detect build breaks sooner – Identify failing tests more quickly – Make progress faster

Kerry:

While what John has done can be adapted to any build environment it has initially been implemented to help support the continuing efforts of the Open Source on OpenVMS community to extend and improve the integration of the GNU tools into VMS, i.e. GNV. Over the last four+ years we have taken GNV from being forgotten and broken and moved it forward to where we have versions of many of tools necessary to build open source kits using their native build environments. Many improvements have been made and continue to be made. We have developed relationships with VMS Engineering (HP/HPE/VSI) and have worked with them to indentify bugs in the CRTL as well as other portions of VMS.

It is great to see the work by eCube Systems. We were aware of it. But the effort to implement Jenkins CI for our purposes was done independently. There is a wiki page on this implementation:
