[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-178) Establish continuous integration for project build and snapshots

["Sean Busbey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-178?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14249454#comment-14249454 ] 

Sean Busbey commented on NIFI-178:
----------------------------------

it's important that these builds be clearly labeled as for developer use and are not provided to end users. Ref the [asf release policy guidance|http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html].

note that it's fine for us to have nightly builds, and fine for us to have some set of people use them. But those people should be classified as contributors and should find out about them either via the dev@nifi list or contributor focused docs.

> As a whole, the project would benefit from the automated generation of distributions (nightlies) available through an automated, CI process.  I've seen some conversation about requesting resources through Apache INFRA for provisioning this and think it would provide a tremendous benefit to get those items requested and established.
> Some of the benefits are:
> * ensuring consistent and repeatable builds as these items mature and evolve, and
> * allowing potential users who are not going to be performing a build from source to use the software and provide testing and issues at an end user level.
