remove ppcle-ubuntu1404?

[richardlau]

We no longer build ppcle Linux releases on Ubuntu with the End-of-Life of Node.js 8:

build/jenkins/scripts/VersionSelectorScript.groovy

Line 37 in 4464fa7

[ /^ppcle-ubuntu/, releaseType, gte(10) ],

We test on centos7-ppcle for Node.js 10 onwards (i.e. all current supported Node.js versions). Time to retire ppcle-ubuntu1404 and remove from the CI? At the very least we could stop testing on it on the more recent release lines.

List of jobs to be updated on the public test CI based on https://github.com/nodejs/jenkins-config-test/ and the following shell script:

-bash-4.2$ grep ppcle-ubuntu1404 jobs/*  | awk -F'[/:]' '{ print "- [ ] "$2 }' | sort -u

I think we should remove it. I went end-of-support in April 2019. The centos builds run on ubunt 1404, if anyone is running it, but we don't need it in CI.

+1 to removing.

Removed the above references (updating to centos7-ppcle where necessary). Need to sweep through any references in the release CI before updating VersionSelectorScript.groovy and the compiler selector -- needs access to the release Jenkins (which I might get under #2286).

[richardlau]

Done the release CI jobs -- there appear to be jobs in the jenkins-config-release backup that are no longer in https://ci-release.nodejs.org/ and I'm presuming have been deleted.
