Re: Can I use the same job names on many slaves (i.e. in an OO manner)?

@DarkRift and @teilo, Many thanks for you two's hints. I will study up that aspect, try it out, and report back my results, if not this coming weekend, definitely early next week. Regards, --Zack There are plugins to help you do that. > > Mainly there is the matrix job plugin which allows you

Can I use the same job names on many slaves (i.e. in an OO manner)?

We are POCing a Jenkins build farm that consists of 1 master, 2 slaves. We use Jenkins mainly to monitor our C++ builds. Our software targets many different Linux and FreeBSD distributions and releases, so we can see that Jenkins can help boost our efficiency significantly. But while testing i
