Split project and build configurations

[koraktor]

Right now, each project can only have one build configuration. If you want to run several projects and/or branches with several configurations (e.g. using RVM), you have to create a project for each configuration.
This is tedious and you'll pretty soon loose track of your projects' status if you have lots of projects or configurations.

This is the current version: http://yfrog.com/3ubigtuna1p

And this is how I imagine configuration support: http://yfrog.com/5fbigtuna2p

How do such configuration differ from each other? Are there some additional tasks which involve for example changing env by RVM?

Also, this is somehow similar to 'grouping' various projects together into one meta--project, isn't it?

We'd like to hear your answers so that we know what needs to be changed.

In fact – at least for my simple setup right now – I'm just calling rvm 1.9.2 rake test, rvm jruby-1.5.3 rake test etc. on one single project: Testing the same code on different interpreters. So basic project configuration (like VCS) is the same for all different setups.
This is something like TeamCity's build configurations.

My case is pretty basic, others may use more complex configurations, but I think it's a must-have for a CI server, to allow different configurations on a project.

Multiple configurations are available on development branch. Database schema has changed and it should be recreated with rake db:schema:load (note that all your project data will be gone)

Looks like a good start. Thanks!

I'm closing the ticket, we'll open new if anything pops up.
