Good catch, too bad we can't fix that kind of bug in a single place. I'd love a long term solution that put less code in the jenkins jobs themselves.

Only nit is that this form would be slightly more readable:

's,\\,\\\\,g'

But that's just my preference. +1

There actually is a way to do it, but it would convert all our lander
jobs into a single job. Francis and chatted about doing that, but
thought it would make debugging even more difficult. I suspect this type
of stuff is all going away post phase-0, so I'll just keep limping it
along for now.

I do agree - fixes like this make me nervous cause its so easy to forget
to forget to update a file.

Not sure I follow. What I mean is having jenkins jobs call shell our
python scripts and have the smarts in those scripts so we touch
the jenkins templates less often.

At least we would be able to test the scripts themselves without
involving jenkins ?
