There is no big magic... the only magic is around how to decide which section is the build section (hint: it's the section with "build" in the title... unless you change the defaults) and how to map between the readme's description of the build environment and jenkins tool installers (which is mapping one user contributed set of names against another set of names) Next to no magic at all... unless you call that the magic... that there is nothing hidden going on at all! Remember the whole point of literate is that you have to tell the user how to build your software project... so why not use those exact same instructions for the CI system > > -- > Les Mikesell > [email protected] > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Jenkins Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
