I did this 4 years ago. A lot has likely changed since then but the only help I
can offer at this time is to repost what I did then. I have not used it in a
long time...
I found that with the Promotion plugin I could not do it but for the Promoted
Builds Simple Plugin it can be done. You just need to type in the following
url but you replace: my-hudson with the url you you hudson install MyJob
with the name of your job {build#} with the build number you wish to make
promotable
http://my-hudson/job/MyJob/{build#}/parent/parent/plugin/promoted-builds-simple/makePromotable
Once I had done the above with a build I wanted to mark promotable I could
then go to the job and change its promotion level. The caveat is that unlike
the main promotion build plugin which has that link the simple version does not
- all you get is an icon next to the build which was good enough for my needs.
Unfortunately the two plugins both have their drawbacks so you need to choose
the one you can put up with the most. There is no automated way I know of to
promote old builds with the non simple version but maybe with a some work you
could do it maually but it looks difficult. Also for some reason I found with
the non simple plugin you had to be an admin user to manually promote builds
and it did not seem to support different levels of promotion through an icon
and you had to dig right down to change it manually unlike the simple way the
simple plugin does it :) Now if we could combine the simple plugin with the non
simple one we would be sorted :)
