Not using LTS, package availability limited

[jujugrrr]

It seems we are using a non LTS version for Jenkins :

jenkinsstack/recipes/master.rb

Line 17 in d6a2e89

node.override['jenkins']['master']['version'] = '1.555'

We are currently having availability issues on the package 1.555 http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/war/1.555/
the LTS ones work well though.

Should we focus on stable releases only ? http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/war-stable/

Does Jenkins have the concept of LTS? We certainly could bump versions to a newer one; I think at the last point we worked on this stack, https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/jenkins/ required v1.555.

Jenkins has recently added the concept of LTS. It's a little different than LTS from say a project like Ubuntu. Check out the model section here.

Thanks @brint! I was unaware of that. In response to the original issue, we wrote this before the concept of LTS (looks like it was added in November of last year). We should switch to it 👍
