Following this comment <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jenkinsci-dev>, I was planning on creating a new scm trait for excluding references according to a date threshold.
The idea after the trait would be leaving out from an analysis branches considered deprecated or unmantained. This way, a new github organization or bitbucket team project wouldn't create jobs for the whole references sitting at the repository but just for the recent ones. With this, the implementation seems it could be easy as hell, define a class extending from SCMSourceTrait that would add a (pre)filter according the defined threshold value. Here comes my question and request for help: * Does anyone feel this would be an invaluable feature or doable in other way? I cant seem to be able to look for a commit creation date. I can get the SHA1 for a branch tip via org.kohsuke.github.GHBranch$Commit and com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.bitbucket.api.BitbucketBranch. From where could I extract the modification time of this commit? What seems true is that I cant apply a SCMSourceContext prefilter so this trait wont avoid trips to the Github API -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
