We currently have several projects which can not be tested with our current Jenkins test infrastructure, and as a consequence are hosting their primary code repositories on github:
- RESTBase https://github.com/wikimedia/restbase -- missing Cassandra
support
- iOS Mobile app

-- missing OS X platform
While hosted officially on Gerrit, Citoid should be added to this list as well. Its proper functioning depends on Zotero being available, so the current CI tests for Citoid include only syntax checking via jshint. In this case, however, it is unlikely that Travis would help. Ideally, isolated CI instances would allow us to have a Zotero container that could be spun alongside Citoid during tests.

Other projects can only run a small portion of their test suite via Jenkins:
- mw-ocg-latexer
< https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Collection-OfflineContentG...
-- requires LaTeX from PPA, image utilities (`jpegtran`).
An alternative to allow these apps to be hosted on Wikimedia infrastructure (gerrit, eventually phabricator) is to allow travis integration with jenkins as an optional service.
npm-travis https://github.com/cscott/npm-travis ( https://github.com/cscott/npm-travis) is a tool which will trigger Travis builds from NPM by pushing to a throwaway branch, which is then cleaned up after the tests complete. It integrates well with the Gerrit access control mechanism: the "Travis Bot" user can be granted push access only, and only to branches prefixed with `npm-travis/`, so it cannot be used to push changes to the master or deployment branches.
This isn't a replacement for our jenkins test infrastructure, but it allows us to accommodate oddball repositories without taxing our infrastructure team or resorting to offsite repository hosting.
There are WIP patches for integrating `npm-travis` with our jenkins infrastructure (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/173045, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/173046) but they seem to be blocked on policy disagreements. This RFC aims to resolve the policy issues.
