Feature
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hi, I would like to have a way to have Houston CI deal with branches with dependencies that differ from the master branch. A solution was provided on medium, but unfortunately creating deb-packaging-branchname
for a branch branchname
doesn't accomplish anything, Houston will just pick the generic deb-packaging
branch.
From https://medium.com/elementaryos/introducing-houston-ci-3179ec34e726:
Similarly, you can push packaging branches that match the naming of other branches for Houston CI. So if you have a feature branch called
big-new-thing
, you can create a matching packaging branch calleddeb-packaging-big-new-thing
and Houston CI will test these branches together. This is especially handy if a feature branch introduces a new dependency. You can test a new, matching packaging branch and never introduce breaks in a CI-based workflow.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like Houston to support branch specific packaging branches like described in the medium.com article. An alternative way of overriding the packaging configuration would also be fine.
