Hi Patrick,
I'm not sure if polling github is really what we want for CI (the
ScriptTrigger plugin does poll after all if I understand it correctly).
Polling works fine for smaller projects, but I don't think it does
really scale for a project like Plone. With a large number of jobs
polling this is a waste of network resources and we don't really get
atomic commits (which is not really CI then).
I gave this some thought and maybe we can set up some kind of
"dispatcher"-Job in Jenkins that is triggered for each commit on a
coredev package (it seems like there is no way to trigger a remote URL
for the entire Plone project on github, so we have to set up a trigger
for each coredev package).
The "dispatcher" could be a regular Jenkins job that we set up for each
coredev branch (4.0, 4.1, 4.2), that only succeeds if the commit is
relevant for that particular coredev branch (the Jenkins job could
include a bash script or buildout recipe that reads the eggs under
development to make this decision). If a "dispatcher"-job is successful,
it triggers the real build, tests, coverage, etc..
I think a proof-of-concept would be easy to setup. Another option would
be to implement the dispatcher as a small app, maybe with Pyramid on GAE
(but this app would have to read the coredev buildouts to decide which
package is relevant for a particular buildout).
We set up a github project at the Plone conference to work on the
Jenkins setup and this particular problem:
