[cle-release-team] Jenkins /faint!

[Matthew Jones]

I've usually had no problems upgrading Hudson/Jenkins in the past. This is
the first time where I've had to put major work into getting it back up and
running again. Almost to the point where I was scared that I'd have to do a
lot of manual work tomorrow.

Now that it's all "stable", I agree with not upgrading it without reason,
though if we do upgrade it there might be some work involved in resolving
all of the incompatible plugins and configurations.

Like for instance the git plugin required a newer version of git on the
system, and I definitely made sure to backup all my jobs! ;)
