#52769: Git + builbot: post-commit-hook selecting which buildbots should be used for CI -----------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: mkae | Owner: larryv Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: server/hosting | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -----------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by larryv): Replying to [comment:9 neverpanic]:
How is modifying a magic file (which is also in the history of the repository) different from putting the skip command in the commit message?
The difference is that one won’t see the magic file when one is looking through a list of commit messages. If you want to argue that it pollutes the list of changes…I can’t really deny it. Different side of the same coin, I guess.
Additionally, the magic file potentially increases the likelihood of merge conflicts
That’s true, but I’m assuming that skipping out on the buildbot run would be a rare thing. If people start doing it whenever they don’t feel like getting a build failure email (which I’m frankly afraid they will), I’d rather we not implement this at all and just manually disable the webhook on the rare occasions that we need to do a mass commit.
and puts a useless file into the repository.
Got me there. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52769#comment:12> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
