Re: [mylyn-reviews-dev] Nightly build job configuration enhancements

[Sascha Scholz <sascha.scholz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I configured the build job to run from scratch (takes about 15min,
most of the time resolving target platform). The job checks every 10
minutes if there are new commits. With Gerrit in place this shouldn't
be so frequent.

I've also talked with Matthias Sohn about Gerrit voting jobs.
jgit/egit are currently trying to get such a job running but still
have some problems. Once we have Gerrit and they managed to get the
jobs running, I would request one for us, too.

For the other target platform I would like to see two additional jobs
which could run as downstream jobs (i.e. only run if the build for one
target platform is green). Should I request them? What I didn't
understand is what's the difference between "nightly" and "release"
build mentioned in the Eclipse Hudson wiki. Any idea?
