Jamie Flournoy commented on CONTINUUM-549: ------------------------------------------ If this means what I think it means, you're saying that a build should try again and again and again until it works. I disagree - this is a waste of machine resources and can result in mail-bombing of the notify list. (CruiseControl behaves like this and it's a pain in the neck!) Also, in the case of a clean rebuild, the artifacts that a developer would need to use to diagnose the failure would be repeatedly erased. An elegant way to satisfy this would be to only send notifications if there are changes in build success (repeated failures would generate no additional notifications), or to just send a message saying that no more builds will happen until either an SCM change is noticed or someone forces a build (after they diagnose the problem and fix it). > A build must always be executed when previous was in failure even if there > are no changes in scm > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CONTINUUM-549 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-549 > Project: Continuum > Type: Improvement > Components: Core system > Versions: 1.0.2 > Reporter: Emmanuel Venisse > Fix For: 1.1-alpha-1 > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
