Generally, there are 4 types of builds run at Eclipse.
These are:
- Nightly (N) - run frequently as SVN or CVS changes; generally run from trunk or head.
- Integration (I) - run weekly
- Stable (S) - including Milestones and Release Candidates, these are run every 4-6 weeks at the start of a cycle, then weekly as needed at the end of a cycle.
- Release (R) - once at the end of the cycle.
There is also a 5th type, the Maintenance (M) build, which is essentially a weekly Integration build, but done as maintenance on a branch rather than as integration from trunk or head.
To create these different types of builds, input the following variables into and Athena build / Hudson job:
Nightly
Set the build type to "N", which will disable signing to save time and server resources.
If you want to build from HEAD (or another branch/tag) instead of respecting the values in the map file, use the option below:
BUILDTYPE = N EXTRAFLAGS = -forceContextQualifier -fetchTag HEAD
Integration or Maintenance
Set build type to "I" or "M", as appropriate.
If you want plugins to all be timestamped with the build's timestamp instead of the unique values from the tags in the map files, set -forceContextQualifier
. Generally, this is NOT recommended unless your maps contain "HEAD" or "trunk"
BUILDTYPE = I EXTRAFLAGS = -forceContextQualifier
Stable or Release
Set build type to "S" or "R", as appropriate.
Since these builds are stable, they should be built from tags and thus -forceContextQualifier
should not be needed.
BUILDTYPE = S EXTRAFLAGS = -buildAlias 0.2.0M3 or BUILDTYPE = R EXTRAFLAGS = -buildAlias 0.2.0
