README for jenkinstool
======================
jenkinstool manages jobs in a Jenkins instance. It creates, updates,
and removes jobs for my projects in a systematic manner.
I have a bunch of personal projects, and I like to have continuous
integration for them, especially since many of my projects depend
on each other. For example, the `cliapp` command line application
framework for Python is used by almost every other project of mine
that has a command line interface of any kind. When I make any changes
to `cliapp`, I want to catch any problems they may cause as early
as possible. Thus, after I push changes to `cliapp`, the test suites
for all the other projects should be run.
I create Debian packages of most of my projects, and I want that to be
done as automatically as possible. The Debian packaging toolset is
powerful, but it takes a bit of effort to set everything up just right,
especially since I need to build my packages in multiple environments:
32-bit and 64-bit Intel architectures, and for at least two and possibly
three releases of Debian. But some packages should be built in only
some environments, so it's not all identical, either.
Thus I use Jenkins to drive the package building process as well.
Automating this removes much manual hassle from my release process.
As a result, I have a large number of very similar jobs in Jenkins,
and I refuse to even try to manage them manually. Instead, I wrote
a tool to do that for me.
Note that jenkinstool is quite specific to my own needs. You may
enjoy <https://github.com/openstack-ci/jenkins-job-builder> instead.
