Multiple projects, same commands

[tps800]

Hi!

I have to build and test some projects. All these use the same commands. I've made them each into a project:

1. checkout
   
2. build1
   
3. build2
   
4. install1
   
5. install2
   
6. build3
   
7. install3
   
8. test
   

This has to be done multiple times on different hardware. At now I defined multiple projects doing the same:

• LinuxA, ARM6
  
• LinuxA, ARM7
  
• LinuxA, i686
  
• LinuxA, amd64
  
• Solaris, amd64
  
• Solaris, sparc
  
• FreeBSD, amd64
  

Is it in any way possible to define a "Master Project" and call the subprojects with parameters and keep the logs destinct? Someting like:

• LinuxA, ARM6
  
1. checkout
   
2. build1
   
3. build2
   
4. install1
   
5. install2
   
6. build3
   
7. install3
   
8. test
• LinuxA, ARM7
  
1. checkout
   
2. build1
   
3. build2
   
4. install1
   
5. install2
   
6. build3
   
7. install3
   
8. test
• LinuxA, i686
1. checkout
   
2. build1
   
3. build2
   
4. install1
   
5. install2
   
6. build3
   
7. install3
   
8. test

So changing configuration of say "1. checkout" would magically change configuration for all projects using this subproject?

Thanks for any hint or idea in advance!

You may want to take a look at the jenkins-job-builder (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jenkins-job-builder) project.  It's specifically designed to simply your task.  We use it to manage ~6000 jobs.  Many of them have similar patterns just like your use case.
