Promoting several modules (integration -> milestone) in ivy?

You can use recursive delivery to publish modules and their dependencies with a higher status.

You can use recursive delivery to publish modules and their dependencies with a higher status. Using your example: e-1.0-RC1 gets published with an integration status d-1.1-RC2 gets published with an integration status, referencing e-1.0-RC1 as a dependency c-2.0-RC1 gets published with an integration status, referencing d-1.1-RC2 as a dependency b-3.3-RC1 gets published with an integration status, referencing e-1.0-RC1 as a dependency a-7.1-RC2 gets published with an integration status, referencing c-2.0-RC1 and b-3.3-RC1 as dependencies. Finally, you decide to promote a-7.1-RC2 to a milestone status, so you do a recusive delivery (use the delivertarget attribute).

This will recursively call the delivertarget for each dependency that has a status lower than milestone and publish it with a milestone status. The nice thing about this, is that you don't need (or want) to have each project checked out in your workspace, just a. This also means that it's much easier to create a deployment pipeline and have your CI server: run unit tests for a, build a, publish a as integration, deploy a to a System Test environment, run some System Tests promote a from integration to milestone (which promotes it's dependencies) deploy a to a Acceptance Test environment, run some Acceptance Tests promote a from milestone to release (which promotes it's dependencies) deploy a to production (or upload it to a download site) At no time does the pipeline need to access the dependant projects and, since the recursive delivery is generic, when you add or remove dependencies (via your ivy.

Xml files), you don't need to change anything in your pipeline. I've marked this answer as a community wiki. Anyone else care to expand on it or correct anything I got wrong?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
