We're using Hudson continuous integration server frequently on projects. But Hudson seems lacking of proper versioning of the jobs configuration.
A few times, this has lead to problems: Somebody changes or tweaks the configuration on jobs and something that used to work stopped working.
I have tried to version-control jobs on my local Hudson server (on my laptop). But this is not optimal: 1) it's only for me. 2) i need to mirror jobs from a central build server – and may also need to modify them to work locally. 3) It's pretty cumbersome to setup .gitignores for files to ignore.
As far as I know, there is no way in Hudson to view change history of jobs, and no plugin does it either.
Also, there seems to be no way to export/import settings.
So the question is: How do you keep track of changes? Both in jobs and in general setup of Hudson?
回答1:
See Which part of HUDSON_HOME should I put under source control?
The Audit Trail plugin might be useful to you too if people are breaking configurations and you're having trouble tracking it down.

Here is another option that I just found: JobConfigHistory
