generate content in staging/_composite_/core/{trunk,4.1.kepler} based on new builds/staging/{JOB_NAME}/{BUILD_ID_N} and builds/staging/{JOB_NAME}/{BUILD_ID_N-1} ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-15483 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15483 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Sub-task Components: build Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt Fix For: 4.2.0.Alpha1 Because the content in builds/staging/\{JOB_NAME}/all/repo/ and builds/staging.previous/\{JOB_NAME}/all/repo/ is moving to builds/staging/\{JOB_NAME}/\{BUILD_ID_N} and builds/staging/\{JOB_NAME}/\{BUILD_ID_N-1}, we need to generate a list of matching build URLs for inclusion in the composite*.xml files, perhaps based on a template that's stored in github (to define which projects to include). Parameters to the generation would need to be: a) template b) number of builds per project to include (1, for stable_branch or 2, for trunk) Constraints: * Need to ensure that the generated files are always fresher than anything pulled from github via rsync, so templates should not be called "compositeContent.xml" but rather "compositeContent.template.xml" * Need to be able to run this regeneration as a Jenkins job, perhaps as the first step in https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/job/jbosstools-composite... and https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/job/jbosstools-composite... Worries: * What happens if the regen happens and then a jbosstools-cleanup.sh fires minutes later, wiping out that N-1 build? Does jbosstools-cleaup.sh need to regen these files too? Default operation of jbosstools-cleanup.sh as called from publish_new.sh and publish.sh is to keep the last 5 builds and anything newer than 5 days old; if there are no such builds, it will always keep the last build in a folder: {code}./jbosstools-cleanup.sh --keep 5 --age-to-delete 5 --childFolderSuffix /all/repo/{code}
