Hi, I'm searching for a while now for a solution to use continues integration in a good way. I'm using a (base) repository which contains the base structure for my application, and furthermore a lot of git submodules pointing to repositories containing the packages used in my project.
What I would like to achieve is having one job which is triggered by a new patch pushed to gerrit if this patch is in the base repository, or one of the package repositories. This can of course be done using the gerrit-trigger plugin, just by setting multiple gerrit projects in the 'Gerrit trigger' section of the job configuration. But now I can't use the GERRIT_REFSPEC in my SCM configuration as this would checkout the base repository in my workspace, and checkout the patch of my submodule directly in the root of the workspace, which is of course not what I want. So, how should I approach this? Would it be possible to configure the job in such a way that the git plugin recognizes that the patchset on which the job triggers is actually a change in a submodule, and if so checkout the patch in the path of the submodule? And, if this is possible, is there a way to make use of topic branches in gerrit like "if there's a topic branch on the submodules patch also checkout all other patches with the same topic branch if there's also a submodule for this repository". I would really like to know if this is possible, or if I have a completely wrong approach to do this. Greetz, Rens
