[FLOW3-general] Setting up Jenkins - Best Practice?

[Mario Rimann]

Hi

I'm trying to get Jenkins up and running so it executes Unit Tests and
collects some metrics on our FLOW3 projects. I based it on Sebastian
Bergmann's template (http://jenkins-php.org/) and have a successful
build now. Somehow it looks to complicated/senseless the way I did it.
Maybe one of the pro's can give me some guidance...?

- How to test a single package instead of a whole Distribution (which
contains the package)? (Where do you store your build configuration in
that case?)
- How to maintain your own build configurations across differen projects?
- How to automatically raise a submodule pointer within a distribution
as soon as the build (tests + metrics) for the single package is running
through with a good result?
- Are there any pro/contra points whether Ant or Phing is to be used for
the orchestration of the tasks?

I know some guys are using stuff like this - and I'm wondering if
there's some documentation around.

Cheers,
Mario
