Deployed to a repository

Revision as of 18:52, 2 December 2013 by Khai Do (talk | contribs)

In general we use a non-standard approach to deploying builds. The standard approach to deploying python projects is to run something like 'sdist upload' and on java it would be using the java release plugin. We do not agree with those approaches to releasing software for a few reasons:

  1. It's doing too much, what we want is to just copy a file to a repository. Those are doing build, test, deployments and even possibly tagging all in one.
  2. It's posing a security risk by downloading from multiple repsitories, we are concerned that something might get through that could re-route the builds to an evil repository.


So instead we simply use curl to deploy the builds to the appropriate repository.

CI Build Deployments

When CI builds are created it usually gets deployed to the tarballs file server.

Release Deployments

When tags are created the tagged build gets deployed to an appropriate repository depending on the type of project that is built. Here is a list of some of the repositories:

  1. Python projects are deployed to pypi
  2. General Java projects are deployed to maven central
  3. Jenkins plugins are deployed to jenkins repo
