Downgraded #Jenkins and all its plugins. Again. Third time — I've finally pinned the version properly 😅

We're frozen on an old version because AIX and Solaris are stuck on Java 11, and newer Jenkins needs Java 17+. Our build farm has 33 nodes across everything from Raspberry Pi to SPARC T4-1.

Now looking at #Forgejo Actions as a way out.

Anyone running CI/CD for AIX or Solaris? What are you using?

@zev333 @olbohlen Let us know how you get on! The sparc builds ought to be good enough for running Jenkins, although that's only a temporary workaround, as pushing the sparc openjdk port past the current jdk17 is going to be somewhere between difficult and impossible.
