Build and Deploy

Goals:

Create a build and deploy infrastructure that separates each project into it's own build cycle

• Shift version declaration to developer teams.
• Add runtime declaration to developer teams.
• Differentiate public shared libraries from team convenience libraries through nexus publishing.
• Prevent public library advancement from forcing downstream cascades of code refactoring.
• use build to create and update manifest declarations via REST api calls to platform services.
• use google repo to allow developers to consolidate projects into a single IDE workspace.

Move deployment management to a browser-based tool based on the registered project manifests collected from project builds

Project responsibilities

• declare Version Name in build.gradle
• integrate the buildcore.gradle script if it is found
• declare targets as <meta-data name='targets' value='sitehost, adhost' />
• declare runtime deps as <meta-data name='rundeps' value='com.buzztime.package:1.00+; .. '/>

Build Responsibilities

• embed branch in the version name for DEV builds
• embed project, version name, version code, product (debug/release/androidTest/aar/jar), flavor (skin) in the artifact fname.
• allow local build/installs with DEV buzztime keystore
• allow nexus snapshot publishing by branch
• generate project manifest of debug/release/androidTest x flavor(s), runtime deps and targets for upload to PS
• INT/STG : upload to nexus releases, upload manifest to INT/STG PS
• DEV : upload debug/release apks to nexus SNAPSHOT
