Why build some new tool to do builds and releases? Why not use something existing like Jenkins or CircleCI? The biggest advantage is that other people will already know how to use it and how it works, unlike anything you build by hand.
- matt_wulfeck 10y agoMy experience tells me that since everyone's build and release cycle is such a unique flower of hackiness that building and maintaining your own pipeline is actually easier than trying to fit everything into the community plugins of Jenkins. Also have you been on Jenkins recently? It looks and feels like butt.
- skolsuper 10y agoHow recently? Nowadays, Jenkins is looking half-decent again imo. Also, I think you can do literally anything in Jenkins that you can do with a custom tool, without really twisting it out of shape.
- zanchey 10y agoThe uniqueness of flowers seems to be the driver of the Buildbot philosophy.
