Re: [emf-dev] Re: Promotion for QTV builds

[Nick Boldt <nickboldt@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, Hudson can't promote bits in the same way that Hudson can't 
tag&release your bits.

But you can *easily* set up a cron job to do scheduled promotes using 
the promote.xml script I provide and sample properties files. It's a 
no-brainer to set up and schedule. And it runs as *you*, rather than 
some generic/shared/unsafe user.

Example & instructions here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Common_Build_Infrastructure/Publishing

You can either call the common.releng/promote.xml directly*, or copy it 
into your .releng project. Or copy the simpler wrapper script that's in 
the gef.releng project. Options abound.

* If you try this simplest approach, please comment in 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=284593 so I know it 
actually works. It should, but it's as yet untested.
