Volker Gimple commented on JENKINS-37718   Re: Block Pipeline job while upstream or downstream projects are building Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I cannot yet see how these orchestration pipelines help address the issue at hand. I do get that they help define the build sequence nicely and without the need for the two options that spawned this discussion thread. However, as far as I understood it, I would either have to run the entire pipeline whenever one of the orchestrated jobs' source code changes or... still need dependency triggers on the individual projects The first scenario is not desirable as it tends to become a significant waste of resources once we are looking at more than just some five to ten jobs. And with the second scenario we're back at the point where having these blocking check boxes become a bit of a necessity. Of course one could start breaking things down into several smaller job groups so that the orchestration jobs make more sense, but then again this is an extra configuration effort that simply wasn't necessary when only using freestyle and matrix jobs and therefore feels like a bit of an overhead.
