[jboss-dev] Broken builds

[Ovidiu Feodorov]

Assuming the risk of Galder accusing me again that I hijack the thread, 
I'll just that that yes, that system works extremely well.

Instead of calling them "snapshots", I call them "r" releases (from SVN 
revision number), and I can end up with a hundred of them in the 
artifact repository. If this bothers you, once the product reaches a GA, 
and all its dependencies are tagged with point releases (ideally GAs 
too), all "r" releases can be deleted from the repository, thus saving 
you precious milli-cents per MB disk space.
