== Questions that were answered ==
* How does a job get the result of "unstable" or "aborted", in the Jenkins interface?
* the job result has to be changed by some entity. Jenkins does not detect 'unstable' itself.
* 'unstable' is intended to reflect a build that maybe only partially completed. Something went wrong somewhere, but the build results may still be usable.
* what is postbuild.groovy used for in Fuego 1.0?
* It was used to set the job description in the build.xml file
* Benchmark.dbench failed on 5/13/16 due to postbuild.groovy problem
* how can I easily make a change in fuego inside the container (say to a test script), and then push it to my fuego-core repository outside the container?
* should I write a script to set up my own tools to work in the container?
* yes - see ~/work/fuego/setup-container-git.sh

- what does the notepad icon mean in the 0.History tab on the home dashboard screen?
* It means that the test run has a build.description, and the notepad is a link to that.
* This view is a "Latest tests run" portlet, provided by the Dashboard-view plugin, with the 0.History pane configured by Cogent Embedded.
* See: Dashboard_view#the_0.History_notepad_icon_mystery for details

- how does Jenkins know the path to the jobs directory under /home/jenkins/fuego jobs?
* there's a symlink from /var/lib/jenkins/jobs to /home/jenkins/fuego/jobs
* Jenkins creates the build.xml file, and the symlinks for the build number, and last*Build files
* see also: build.xml

- How can you see the devlog, systemlog and test log for a test?
* If you go to http://localhost:8080/fuego/userContent you can see the directories that are in /var/lib/jenkins/userContent. This include fuego.logs, which is a symlink to /home/jenkins/logs

== Questions answered, but not documented elsewhere in the wiki yet ==
* why is the log not copied for Functional.hello_world.log (on test failure on Sep 1)
* because the test program itself returned failure. It should only indicate failure in the log, and return success
* or, the test script should force success after the test runs
* FIXTHIS - document that test programs should exit with 0 indicating a successful run, even if what they are testing failed. Exit of non-zero indicates a failure of test infrastructure, not failure of the test.
