[Cruisecontrol-user] RE:

[Taylor, K. <Kev...@pa...>]

	How can we make sure, that everything
	is build in the correct order. It seems to be possible to do this
via a
	certain time, a build starts, but this is not as good, as we would
like to have
	it, because we can not guarantee, that componente 1 takes 5 minutes
to compile
	and not say 10 minutes.

One method, if the CC's have access to a common file system:
When the first build finishes sucessfully, it creates a temp file with a
status code. The next job wakes every 5 minutes and looks for this file. If
it finds the file, it looks for a successful status code. It then deletes
the temp file and runs and if it is sucessful it creates a differently named
temp file with it's status code. The third job is also waking every 5
minutes and looking for job number 2's temp file, etc, etc.

With this method there is some flexibility. For instance, you have 2 builds
that create jars and a third build that uses those 2 jars. You can run the
first 2 builds concurrently and the third build doesn't start until it sees
that both "jar" builds have completed successfully (by reading in and then
deleting the first 2 build's temp files).
