Jenkins plugin for building perl applications

Jenkins - is well known continues integration server. One of it's great features - one may extend it by writing custom plug-ins. Recently I have created one plug-in to build and make distributive of perl applications.

It implements standard build scheme:

cd to source directory
install dependencies from source directory into local directory
and optionally create distributive from source directory

Other features are:

find 'tagged' directory with maximum version number ( implementing install from subversion tags )
applying different patches ( install other cpan modules )
both Makefile.PL and Build.PL are supported
colour output
and some others ...

It appears that this is SVN specific (but I could just be reading too much into the description). Any way that you can make it vcs agnostic or at least include other models? --MidLifeXis	[reply]

No it's scm agnostic, you just give a path to a directory where source is at and build starts there. The "last tag" feature justs give you possibility to automatocaly choose directory with maximum version in it's name. Let's say one have version-0.0.1 and version-0.0.2 directories, than version-0.0.2 directory will be chosen to make build from.	[reply]
