I would like to use the build pipeline plugin because of the nice way it visualizes the deployment pipeline. I would also like for the build pipeline to be the place to go to move artifacts from one environment to the next: continuously build dev, manual deploy to test, manual deploy to stage, manual deploy to prod. The only way I can think to do this is to have a parameter that gets passed to each build for the dev build's build number, but I do not see a way to do this with the build pipeline plugin, am I missing something? The use case would be that we want to deploy to test a build that occurred 3 builds ago. Does anyone have any pointers on how to do that?
Thanks, Will
