Change Details

The Jenkins Gearman plugin has originally be written for OpenStack (now OpenDev), they have phased out Jenkins from their architecture and the plugin has been unmaintained since. However, I have found out another company forked it and addressed a few issues with it, most notably Java 11. We should thus use their repository, rebuild our plugin and upgrade. The rough topology of the git repositories: | https://github.com/jenkinsci/gearman-plugin | Dummy one just having a README | https://opendev.org/x/gearman-plugin | Original canonical repository, the version WMF runs | https://github.com/gooddata/gearman-plugin | Maintained fork
