It’s pretty much hidden as hipster content is not the first thing people will find. We need to fix this and mark/remove old content once and for all. However, wiki reorganization is more complex task and is out of scope of this email.

As far as I know you are not doing it with the jenkins env.
Furthmore, sometimes there are new packages (or versions) that have to 
be installed manually.

And then? What to change in the Makefile? Eg. COMPONENT_REVISION.
Creating a new package is just one thing. Taking a paking from Oracle 
userland; from SFW, whatever source...
What to do with pkgmogrify, what changes are needed in the p5m file?

I am not familiar with vagrant; I am not sure whether you can expect that.
Plus, how to configure your own jenkins?

How so?

My experience is that env-prep works only partially. Especially it 
failed to prepare the whole env (gmake env-prep in root folder of the 
project).

> These are more suitable for blogs. Anything in particular you are looking for?
Blogs are a nice thing. Alas they are mostly static and a newcomer 
cannot decide what is outdated and what not.
This is also a problem with our wiki, especially because it deals with 
several topics and versions (dev vs. hipster).

What happened to Michael's work? It seems to be stuck...
