Re: Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline Plugin

[Dale LaBossiere <dm...@gmail.com>]

Nice.  Seems like DEVELOPMENT.md’s Jenkins chapter should capture this sort of info?

Under what conditions do these Jenkins builds run, nightly, upon new commit...? What happens when a build fails? (thinking of transient failures)

What's the scoop with our “master” branch and how it's handled?  When/how is “develop” used?

With our gradle tooling our release process creates a release-x.y.z branch… which is never removed.
What's the relationship of these release/* branches to that… their role and lifetime?

Thanks,
