Jenkins will not build your linux distribution for you. But if you have a script that does it, Jenkins can run that script.
So it all depends on how your linux distribution is built, what tools does it use, how are those tools run and where and in what kind of environment are they run... In general, I think a linux distribution is such a huge piece of software that you are anyway better off studying the distribution's build process and using it as is or only tweaking it as little as possible for your needs. Coming up with your own build process with Jenkins in mind would probably be a gargantuan effort. You can probably still use Jenkins to run the build scripts, distribute the work and collect the results. But how exactly to do that depends heavily on the details of the distro's build process. -- Sami mwpowellhtx <mwpowell...@gmail.com> kirjoitti 23.2.2013 kello 21.02: > Hello, > > We've got a linux distribution we are customizing to target our > embedded device.
