Team Foundation Server 2010: structure build definitions in folders

Question

We have a lot of build definitions on our TFS 2010 for the same 'Team Project'. But not all build tasks are relevant for developers or they haven't the privileges to queue a new build.

Is there a way to manage the definitions with folders / tags or something else to keep it simple? Otherwise the developers will lose the overview if tens of build definitions are available.

thank you and kind regards, danny

Answer 1

There is now a VS 2010 plugin that kind of does this. We've just tried it and it really helps manage the build definitions but it requires you to have a naming convention in place

Answer 2

It is currently not possible. You can vote on https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/582949/tfs2010-team-explorer-multiple-build-folders-for-team-project to have it in the next version of Visual Studio (aka Dev11). The more votes, the more likely it gets higher on the backlog.
