Change focus of build from projects to Build Definitions
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONTINUUM-564
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-564
Project: Continuum
Type: Wish
Components: Core system
Versions: 1.0.2
Reporter: Geoff Gibbs
Rather than using projects as the mian focus for continumms build system, why
not use the build definitions?
For example:
Currently If I have a project with 3 build definitions, each scehduled to run
nightly at 1,2 and 3am then the first will be triggered at 1am, the Project
will be in a "Building" state and the cvs update will take place, assuming
changes have been made the required build is then run.
Assume a change is made before 2am.
At 2am the second build definition is triggered and agian the Project will be
in a "Building" state, if I were to view the "Show projects" page now, I would
not know if the first build was taking over an hour or if the second build is
taking place as the focus is on the project, not the build definition.
Finally at 3am the next build is trigger, but nothing has changed, so the third
build definition is never built.
It seems more sensible for the Show Projects page to be replaced with a show
build definitions page and for the build definitions to be named (currently I
have to examine the output to see which build definition was used for a given
build of a project.
