Fine Jesse, you win... I have released the source code for my mythical Freestyle Multibranch Project type:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/freestyle-multibranch-plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Freestyle+Multibranch+Plugin Background ========= Back in 2011 I got fed up with the stupid way the git plugin built multiple branches. I wanted to be able to see the history for each branch independently. I wanted to not have to go and create/copy a new job for each branch. I said: "screw this shit... there must be a better way" So I did some hacking in my spare time and came up with a freestyle multibranch project type... but my OCD kicked in and I didn't like that configuring this project type littered the log files with NPEs... and I couldn't figure out a hack to fix it... And of course I also realised that you usually need a different build configuration for different branches which kind of negates the cookie-cutter model in this project type. So then I decided that the most important thing (a.k.a. the crux) is that there should be a single file in source control that says how to build the project... which is where literate came from. But while refactoring everything to make Literate, I did keep the freestyle multibranch project type current with the refactoring. Announcement ============ Are you looking for a Jenkins plugin to maintain? Are you interested in the multi-branch style of projects? Are you not interested in a file in source control that describes how the project should be built but rather prefer to configure everything from the Jenkins UI? (note that literate does not force that file to be written in markdown... it even ships with a *very* limited .travis.yml parser... if you want to have the build configuration defined by a file in SCM, then providing alternative parsers to the literate-api is the way to get involved in that) Well here is your lucky day! I am throwing away this code. You can now take up the baton and forge forward... Infamy, riches and the worship of whatever gender you are attracted to awaits... all you need to do is step up and become a maintainer. -Stephen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
