Jiri Daněk created DISPATCH-1928:
------------------------------------
Summary: Design for a platform-independent way of doing CI
Key: DISPATCH-1928
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-1928
Project: Qpid Dispatch
Issue Type: Wish
Affects Versions: 1.14.0
Reporter: Jiri Daněk
Assignee: Jiri Daněk
Every CI system has its own format of a build script. Such as .travis.yml, or
Jenkinsfile. It makes sense to minimize the amount of code in such file and
call some external Bash script instead. This way, multiple CI systems can be
supported, migration is easier, and the scripts can be used outside of CI as
well.
Besides Bash scripts, it is also possible to write a meta-Makefile, or
CMakeLists.txt to do the same job. That is, to accept some variables (like
PROTON_CHECKOUT_BRANCH or EXTRA_PROTON_CMAKE_ARGUMENTS), do the git cloning,
building, and test running.
I am imagining that Dispatch could contain a meta-CMakeLists.txt which would
have tasks to install ubuntu packages, clone and build proton, and to run
regular dispatch cmake build, and to run tests. This could then be used from CI.
I believe that using CMake for this is cleaner than Bash or make.
