Thank you so much for helping me ! :) Yes, (1) maybe it's not needed :) , (2) or I should only and manually start a building job in jenkins once I finished a version. Because I should write "What's new in this version?" in the google play console or in the jenkins post build each time when releasing a new version app. (3) or Maybe I can start a new dev branch in the github repository. And the master branch can be only used as the release branch. When I finish a version, merge the dev branch to master so that I can set the periodic build job in jenkins. :) Thanks, Fitz _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
