I am thinking, how is better to track Hudson builds.<br>
Currently VM reports a build by taking a VMMaker package version.<br>
But it is incomplete information:<br>
- there is no evidence which sources been used and which<br>
configuration of CMakeVMMaker been used.<br>
<br>
Hudson fetching everything from git, so using git hash number is a<br>
complete pointer to the sources.<br>
But in addition, i need to specify which configuration been used<br>
(since there are many of them).<br>
Actually i think that the more information we put, the easier it would<br>
be to track down, which VM are used.<br>
<br>
So, my question, what is your preferences?<br>
Because currently 'Cog 4.0.0' as well as 'VMMaker-foo-bar.xyz' says<br>
almost nothing :)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>VMMaker-foo-bar.xyz says /everything/ about the source covered by VMMaker. I want the Monticello package lists for all packages involved (there's OSProcessPlugin and some others outside of VMMaker). I want the url of the platforms tree and the revision (i.e. the exact coordinate to check-out the exact same source).</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is all about reproducibility. You provide exact coordinates. From those coordinates anyone can recreate the source. That's why I check-in the generated source along with the platforms and build trees. That way one only has to dereference a single coordinate, the svn tree.</div>
