Set Retention forever on a Build Release

Why do we need this plugin?

When a release has successfully deployed to PRODUCTION environment, we wanted to keep that release defintion and all its associated builds forever. This Release task will automate the process.

Releases

• 1.0.x - Initial release
• 2.0.x - Updated code to work with VSTS also

Included Tasks

Build Release Retension Task

This task sets the 'keep forever' retension flag on a Release and its all associated builds. It takes one parameter, the build selection mode, set to either:

• Select only the primary build associated with the release (default)
• All the build artifacts associated with the release
• (Advanced) Use use build agents default credentials as opposed to agent token - usually only every needed for TFS usage
