The subcomponent for this enhancement should really be SCM, but I didn't see
that option :/
Please note:
The enhancement below is best suited for "Latest" type builds. That is, builds
that are run to make sure that when a projected is checked out from an SCM that
it will always result in a SUCCESSFUL build.
Description:
Please see http://www.nabble.com/Excludes-List-tf4488311.html#a12855652 for full
description.
"Better SCM polling support that doesn't trigger a build for changes in certain
regions"
On a Job by Job level, have an "Excludes List/Region" under the "Build Triggers"
that would specify files/folders that are irrelevant from the build's status
(success or failure).
For instance if you are running an apache webserver and have virtual-host
definitions that redirect static content to a folder outside the application
war/ear file, all static content becomes irrelevant to the status of a build,
thus Hudson should not have to build the job if the only thing that has been
updated in the SCM is static content.
Another example is *.sql scripts. If your build process does not automatically
run these scripts, then they become irrelevant to the build's status (success or
failure). If one of these *.sql scripts is modified, it will not effect the
build directly, thus Hudson should not schedule and run a build for it.
This would save Hudson from having to schedule builds that will always succeed.

[JENKINS-848] Excludes List Enhancement

added a comment - I'd love to get this implemented, but haven't thought of a great way to do this.
I know we'd have to support something like getModifications() for each call to
pollChanges then compare those modifications to a list of regex exclusions.
Does that sound about right?

HTML help file for excluded regions draco2k8
added a comment - I found a bug in the original patch, so please review CVS_Excluded_Regions_v2.
I've also added the HTML help file.
I'd really like to get this into the core but don't want to check it in without
it being accepted as a temporary solution.

Log:
[FIXED JENKINS-848] Added ability for CVS polling to ignore commits of certain files as unimportant to the build process succeeding (e.g. HTML files) - thus a build would not be triggered.

I've found out that this is more common than I had previously thought.

It must be possible to do, as others have already attempted it and succeeded.
To me this would be a great addon to Hudson.
