[Anthill-pro] Anthill3 Preview11

[Curley, Patrick]

Let me explain further.  I have a java project in CVS called nibclient,
I have a project set up in anthill to build this (nibclient-build), it
also takes the needed jar files and puts then in a zip file, this zip
file is committed to CVS in a different area than the original java
project.  Then the zip file is tagged like this: PROD_1_16_0.  

Now I have another project to deploy the nibclient project
(nibclient-deploy). I want the user to enter the tag as a parameter, so
they would enter PROD_1_16_0, then anthill3 would check the zip file out
of cvs using the entered tag.

So I will never check a project out of head if I am doing a deployment.

I just want to pass this parameter to the source config where you setup
a module.  

Is this possible?

Pat

Patrick,

You will want to create a seperate workflow for building from a tag than

you use for building from head. Presumably, when you build from a tag 
you will probably not want to relabel, your versioning / stamping will 
be different, and the source configuration will change a little bit.

So create a seperate source configuration and have the tag field set as 
${property:tag} .  Then in your workflow, you can either use the same 
build job as before or create a similar one that has settings more 
appropriate to building from a tag. In the workflow configuration, you 
can add properties. The name of one of these properties should be 'tag' 
and should be required. Then whenever he goes to run the 'Build from 
tag' workflow, it will prompt the operator for that tag.

I hope that made some sense.

Cheers,
Eric
