Description Sam Davis

It would be really cool if there were an affordance somewhere on a patch set that would allow you start a build on a configured Hudson or Jenkins server passing in the ref of the patch set as the GERRIT_REFSPEC parameter to the build. This would need to present the user with a list of builds that accept this parameter.

+1. It's annoying but the only way I've figured out how to do this currently is by submitting a "fake" change.

I was referring to builds that don't have a gerrit trigger and need to be started manually. It would be nice to be able to retrigger gerrit builds as well; the Hudson connector may already support that, I'm not sure.

You can retrigger builds from the Hudson web UI (if you are logged in). The Hudson connector does not support that though since it's an action that contributed by the Gerrit trigger plug-in.s

Since the connector supports starting parameterized builds, it actually might not be hard to do this.

An ambitious contributor could probably look at the Mylyn Builds UI plugin and port this functionality for use in the Mylyn Gerrit connector.

A problem with this idea is that the parameter may not be called GERRIT_REFSPEC.
