Re: [dash-dev] Current promotion strategy for Buckminster Users

[Miles Parker <milesparker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Trip,

This is one of those many cases where despite the advantages of Buckminster I wish I'd stayed with the Athena approach which is very well documented and works well using shell scripts. See for example: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Common_Build_Infrastructure/Publishing

But the basic issue is that we need to get nightly and interim builds published automatically to Eclipse download servers and be able to manually do the same with milestone and release builds. I gather that this isn't quite as simple as it sounds, as there are issues with what you do with the existing files, etc.. But the main issue seems to be that you can't push to downloads, but must instead do that in bud.eclipse.org shell script. Maybe this won't be an issue inside hudson.eclipse.org..

Also, while built-in hudson promote looks easy, I haven't been able to get it working the way I'd like even on simple homegrown project and it doesn't appear to be flexible enough to handle complexities of Eclipse style releases.
