Simpler version of [Promoted Builds
Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Promoted+Builds+Plugin),
with only manual promotion of builds.

This plugin adds a `Promoted Builds` section in the main Jenkins
configuration page. Here you can configure the names of your promotion
levels and the icons to use in the Build History. All builds run after
the plugin is installed will show the promotion level on the build
status page, and users with "Update Run" permission will be able to
promote the build.

Unlike the [Promoted Builds
Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Promoted+Builds+Plugin),
this plugin defines metadata only; there is no action associated with
the promotion. It just shows the promotion level on the build page and a
badge icon in the Build History on the project page. You may use this
metadata however you like, such as using the Remote API to find
artifacts of a particular promotion level. The [Copy Artifact
Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Copy+Artifact+Plugin) can
also copy artifacts of a selected promotion level from other jobs.

Click the help icon for Promoted Builds in the main configuration page
for information on how to use the Remote API to query for promoted
builds, or how to promote builds that were run before installing the
plugin.
