Re: Announcing copyartifact-git-plugin

2014-02-19 Thread Patrick Higgins
I didn't see a great way to implement what I want, so this is the simplest
stopgap to fill my need.

It is a separate plugin for the reason Jesse mentioned--to not add a git
dependency to a generic plugin.

Long-term, it seems like it would be nice if builds had a method to return
the branch(es) associated with a build without needing any SCM
dependencies. I'm not sure that a generic interface is possible across all
SCM systems, though.

In lieu of that, I think it would be helpful to write a plugin that has
optional dependencies on several SCM plugins and provides the branch
information for a build based on the SCM plugins it finds at runtime. Would
such a plugin be possible? If so, then copyartifact could come to depend on
it, or another plugin similar to copyartifact-git could expose a selector
based on it.

Announcing copyartifact-git-plugin

2014-02-19 Thread Patrick Higgins
I just created https://github.com/patrick-higgins/copyartifact-git-plugin.

This plugin extends the Copy Artifact plugin by adding a build selector for 
the latest build from a named git branch.

I would like to host this plugin at github.com/jenkinsci. I believe I 
already have commit privilege but don't seem to be able to create new 
repos. Can someone fork my existing project into the jenkinsci organization?

Regards,
Patrick

Re: Call for starteam-plugin interest

2014-02-10 Thread Patrick Higgins
Hi Paul,

I'm glad to hear that Borland is planning to work on the Jenkins plugin for
StarTeam. I've been thinking about updating the plugin to the newest
Jenkins SCM plugin interface, as I've received some internal bug reports
about build change sets being incomplete/incorrect and I am hoping that
using the new interface will help, though I have done very little research
at this point.

I started a branch to update to SDK 13.0 last May. You can see my progress
at https://github.com/patrick-higgins/starteam-plugin/tree/sdk13.0. It has
been long enough that I don't recall the state of that branch. It may or
may not be functioning.

I've been thinking about the best way to handle the SDK upgrade. Do you
have any internal metrics about how many StarTeam installations can use the
new SDK?

The options I have thought of are:


   1. Requiring a new SDK for 0.7.0 (or whatever the next major version
   bump will be).
   2. Forking the plugin to allow parallel development for the old and new
   SDK.
   3. Support both new and old SDK within a single plugin code base.

Option #1 seems like the most straightforward, but without usage numbers
I'm not sure how realistic it is.

Glad to have you!

--Patrick
