[Plone-testing-team] upgrade of jenkins nodes

[Timo Stollenwerk]

Hi,

I have no idea how other projects handle this. The main problem is 
probably Firefox. Webdriver and Selenium are pretty fragile when it 
comes to version upgrades.

Therefore we can not just upgrade our machines automatically in my 
option. Is it possible to get notified if Firefox would be included in a 
possible upgrade? I'd be happy to make upgrade manually if I would get a 
notification.

The other option would be to install Firefox manually. This would allow 
us to make updates automatically without any problems. Though, I usually 
prefer the sys packages just because it is easier to install and to 
maintain.

Cheers,
Timo
