Build all active branches
It sounds possible to bind our Build_Tails_Iso_* jobs depending on the
activity of a branch.
A possible scenario would be :
* If a branch has a new commit, it is automatically assigned a new job
if any
* If a branch hasn’t been updated since 2 months, its job (if any) are
removed
This would greatly help to save sysadmin work.
Implementation
The addition of a job to build feature/wheezy (#5601 (closed)) should be a
useful proof-of-concept that can now be generalized. We can’t use job
templates unfortunately (see commit 3720983f in the jenkins-jobs repo
for details). However, we obviously won’t want to manually duplicate all
this job configuration by hand, so a simple script could take as input a
set of branch names, compute job name etc. from that and output
jobs.yaml.
Further possible improvements
It might also help in having new contributors to enjoy our Jenkins
facility, but that would require them to have access to our tails
repo…
A more probable implementation for that goal would be to have another
job definition in our jenkins-job-builder designed to watch other
contributors repo’s tags or branches.
