Manage groups of build configurations in Hudson
- by Lóránt Pintér
I'm using Hudson to build my application. I have several branches that come and go. Whenever there's a new branch, I have to set up the following builds for it:
a continuous build that runs after every change in SVN
a nightly build
a nightly site generation (I'm using Maven under the hood)
and a weekly integration build for some branches
currently this means I need to copy four template configurations and set them up with the branch URL. I don't like this for two reasons:
It's redundant, so modifying something is error-prone and takes a lot of time.
I need four full checkouts of the product per branch on every build slave, plus four separate private Maven repository, not to mention the built artifacts. This is a lot of space wasted.
What I'd like instead is to have one workspace and one configuration for allthese builds. Is this possible with Hudson?
