I have a need to be able to refer to build jobs by something other than their build number. To be perfectly clear, I want to be able to access a particular job's artifacts but I might not know the number of the job. I would know a "tag" or "alias" for it though.
Given for example a URL on my jenkins server of: http://jenkins/job/foo/arch=x86_64,distro=el6/182/artifact/ I would like to replace the "182" with something more "friendly" and static. Call it say "1.0.1" if it were the build that were released as version 1.0.1 of my project. Then I could predictably access: http://jenkins/job/foo/arch=x86_64,distro=el6/1.0.1/artifact/ and know I'd be getting the artifacts for whatever build was tagged/aliased with that value. Does any such thing exist, as a plugin or otherwise? Cheers, b.
