pjam on rails, part 2 ( pjam projects )

Recently I wrote a post about a pjam - a perl applications build server. Now I continue the topic and try to uncover some pjam vital features.

First of all, central point of pjam is a "project", which is the collection of URLs with a source codes for your application:

Every url therefore holds a part of source code for you application. Modern application…

  • creates builds

  • notifies users on successful / failed builds

  • shows differences between builds

  • shows users activity log - who, what and when changed

  • shows build's detailed logs

Pjam - continues integration for PERL, using pinto.

Now it's in prototype stage, but it give a sense the way of automation.

One have list of code sources with changes get pulled from scm trig…

jenkins plugin for building perl applications

Jenkins - is well known continues integration server. One of it's great features - one may extend it by writing custom plug-ins.

It implements standard build scheme:
  1. look up source directory
  2. install dependencies into local directory
  3. create distributive

Other features are:
  1. find 'tagged' directory with maximum version number ( implementing install from subversion tags )
  2. applying different patches (…
