Is good. I do not think have needed to use a plugin. We just had created a job for building our apps a while back and we copy that. But if people like this, it is fine to include. > - woproject.jar would be bundled with the plugin. > Is good. > - For deployment, the plugin will allow people to specify at least wotaskd > installations, the password, the path to install the app and the path to > install the WSR. If we could use jenkins to install built apps to our 25+ deployed instance machines, it would be beyond wonderful. At some point, we will become concerned about the clutter in these directories. I would suggest a "keep x of the last non-deployed versions and y of the last deployed versions" flag, settable per host. Someone will have to go and delete those older versions. It would make sense for jenkins to do it here. > - The plugin could do two types of restart when the app is installed: restart > or bounce. > Is also good. > - It will use the "symlink" type of deployment, meaning that the app will > have a unique identifier (MyApp.woa-201208260800) and the plugin will change > a symbolic link (MyApp.woa) to point to the new release > (MyApp.woa-201208260800). You can define the unique identifier, but if none > is specified, it will be a timestamp. Are you all assuming that the MyApp.woa-201208260800 directory is in the /L/W/Applications directory? We have created a /L/W/Distributions directory and the /L/W/Applications contains only simlinks into that. This seems, somehow, cleaner. We use the subversion version number in the app name, also. Presumably, we would specify that in the same way we do now. Actually, we now use a shell-script build phase, and that is kludgey, so, we can hope for better? If you are pulling from git, would you use the guid of the version? Is anyone else just completely shocked that you cannot go to github.com and search for a guid and just find the exact version of the correct repository? I mean, one would hope that they realize what the "u" in guid means. Duh! > Opinions? +1, definitely. - ray _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
