[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-21012) Why do we deploy JBT components to Nexus snapshots repo?

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21012?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-21012: ------------------------------------ No, there was nothing in here which found an issue about bad versioning, only problems with Nexus supporting the idea of versioning things like 1.5.1.Beta1-SNAPSHOT. Workaround was to use 1.5.151-SNAPSHOT. Conclusions were: * To support pushing update site zips to Nexus, we need to replace alphabetic BUILD_ALIAS = Beta1 with numeric BUILD_ALIAS_NUM = 51. (More examples/details above - https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21012?focusedCommentId=13125499&... ) * BUT, to support composite sites containing the Nth and N-1th builds of a given component, we can not use Nexus since it only supports a "latest" or Nth build in /unzip/unzip/ URLs. This means downstream builds will fail should an upstream component republish DURING that downstream component's build. These failures are not "CI builds fail faster" but rather "nuissance failures", since a simple respin would fix them. --- Re: features that detect bad versioning, we have two: a) compare with baselines - JBIDE-21052 b) versionwatch - JBIDE-20976 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
