Comment (by hinder):
It is important that all the build VMs are the same. Yes, we should update to Ubuntu 16.04, but this needs to be done in a controlled way across all the VMs. We also should check that Cactus works properly on 16.04 (until very recently, it would have failed due to the PETSc problem).
I would like to move to docker containers for the Jenkins slaves eventually, so that we are not so dependent on VMs being built in a specific way, and they don't have as much internal state. This may be done by installing Docker on the existing slaves and setting up containers there.
