Couple of questions around repos and their default branch. Right now, from what I can tell, you can only specify a default branch at the repo level. Are there any future plans to allow specifying a default branch for a configuration or timed trigger (at a per repo level)? It is possible to just create branch specific repositories, but that can be counter-productive due to the number of repos and their size.
Keep up the great work! Continua is continuing (no pun intended...) to be a real asset to our workflow
We’ve been exploring some ideas around this. One idea I have for this is to create branch maps, where you define which branch in repo B goes with which branch in repo A… so if a repo trigger fires on repo A it can figure out which branch to use on repo B (or use the default if no map is found. The time based triggers could also use the branch maps.
The other option is to have every trigger list every repo and allow you to specify the branch, however this wouldn’t be as flexible or powerfull as the branch map concept.
We are in feature freeze mode at the moment, the only work that is being done is on the installer & website, and I expect we will have a release candidate out in the next day or so. After release we plan to have frequent updates, and as soon as new features (like dependancies and the above mentioned) are ready we’ll roll them out in point releases.
Which build are you using, we could really use some feedback on the most recent build, as it introduced quite a few changes to authentication (to support ldap & mixed ldap/forms auth).
Thanks for the compliments, the team have been working pretty hard on this product for a while now, it’s nice to know it’s hitting the spot for someone
Thanks for the info Vincent. I look forward to either of those ideas appearing in the future! For now I’ve created separate repos pointing at the same source to get the job done.
