I would also be concerned about the amount of disk space that would be used to archive artifacts for every Gerrit build. We keep a lot of them so that if there is a failure, there
is a reasonable time window for people to go look at the job to see what failed.
In the Trace Compass project we do what Elena proposed - to have a special job. But if you need special builds for several different bugs/people, it won't scale very well. In the past I have shared CDT p2 repositorys (zips) from Dropbox. Maybe that would be
an easier solution for you.

Subject: Re: [cdt-dev] Build artifacts for cdt-verify jobs?
Creating artifacts takes time, we want to minimize verify job as much as possible because with current 40 min it is backed up already.
We can create a special job like a master job which produces artifacts but has a parameter of the branch (gerrit review) to pull, when you start it you would
have to provide this parameter manually
