I'm trying to solve the following bug [1] and it requires changes

1. Ensure your change is backward compatible (no
removal, no move...).
If it's not, explain your need on the mailing-list.
2. Commit your change (Don't add binaries, but add scripts to get
binaries instead)
3. Run job to get your change published
https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevS...
4. If you want to push binaries to this folder, ask the mailing-list for
the most appropriate process.
Basically, I just want to make sure that I never do an rsynch when
someone else has only half-complete or not-synchable stuff in there.
"Someone
else" is only
download.jboss.org. It should never be
not-synchable. If it becomes not-synchable, then it's a bug, describe
the issue in a Jira.
You don't do the rsync by yourself. You must use this Jenkins job to
sync:
https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevS...
So there is only a single user (jenkins) doing rsync on a single folder
(
download.jboss.org/jbosstools) and there should not be conflict.
Can it be assumed that any code in that folder and committed to trunk
is free to be rsynch'd at any time?
Yes. But ensure your change won't break
older stuff! Prefer adding files
than modifying them.
