If set, a newly scheduled build waits for this many seconds before actually being built.
This is useful for:
-
Collapsing multiple CVS change notification e-mails into one (some CVS changelog
e-mail generation scripts generate multiple e-mails in quick succession when
a commit spans across directories).
-
If your coding style is such that you commit one logical change in a few cvs/svn
operations, then setting a longer quiet period would prevent Hudson from building
it prematurely and reporting a failure.
-
Throttling builds. If your Hudson installation is too busy with too many builds,
setting a longer quiet period can reduce the number of builds.
If not explicitly set at project-level, the system-wide default value is used.
It's possible to use Project cascading feature for this property. Please review
this document.
