Re: Use of <buildstatus> within Cruise Control

Hi,

It works like this:

- Project 'A' builds.
- CC publishes logs.
- Those logs become the changes that trigger Project 'B'.

Now, don't go thinking that you'll have a 1:1 correlation between 'A' and
'B': if A builds 5 times during a previous run of B, you'll see 5
modifications that trigger B.

The schedule element should not trigger a build, it should just check every
hour (if you have requireModifications set to false, it would build every
time it polls.

http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#schedule

You can use the 'vetoIfFailing' attribute on buildstatus to stop it building
if A fails.

HTH,

J.
