Hello Deng, I am planning to retain the build environment because some other users may be using its concept of installation configuration. The addition would just be the ability to include installations from an xml config file of a build agent that is being used in the build process. So the installation set would be the combination of the installations in the build environment together with the installations from each of the build agents utilized in the build process. The idea of my implementation of the improvement would just be considered as an extending of the installation configuration rather than a major overhaul of the build agent's installation configuration process.
The reason for this improvement is that currently, I am trying to manipulate individual installations from each build agent, as I have observerd in continuum, build agents only use the installations from their build environments during build. - Chuable --- On Mon, 12/6/10, Deng Ching <[email protected]> wrote: From: Deng Ching <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Implementation proposal for Continuum Issue #2592 Ability for build agents to use installations in their config file To: [email protected] Date: Monday, December 6, 2010, 11:03 AM Hi Chuable, How would this affect the current behavior of Continuum? Currently, a build agent uses the installations set in the build environment where the build agent group (that a build agent belongs to) is attached. How would this change when CONTINUUM-2592 is implemented? Would build environments still be necessary for distributed builds?
