This is a draft. TODO: update links to Sage builds.

This document records the Jenkins builds set up for synapser dev/staging/validation/release.

Dev Build

• Run on every push
• Make sure new changes do not break the build
• Do not make change to Github repository
• Do not push artifact to RAN (or staging RAN)
• Item: 
  • http://jenkins.sagebase.org:8080/job/kim_synapser_dev/

Staging Build

• Run on release candidate branches, ideally once; and occasionally, when a patch need to go in before release.
• Build the artifacts
• Do not make change to Github repository
• Push artifacts to staging RAN
• Items:
  • http://jenkins.sagebase.org:8080/job/synapser-staging/
  • http://jenkins.sagebase.org:8080/job/synapser_staging_artifact/
  • http://jenkins.sagebase.org:8080/job/synapser_staging_deploy/

Release Build

• Run when a version is released. 
• Do not make change to Github repository
• Push artifacts to RAN
• Item:
  • http://jenkins.sagebase.org:8080/job/kim_synapser_deploy/

Future Work

• Append an item to run right after release build item, testing the deployment:
  • Download and install the artifacts on different platform and versions of R
  • Load the synapser library and verify that it works (by running the integration tests)
