Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-15482:
------------------------------------

Accidentally pushed the PR in too soon... so for now, while testing and giving people time to migrate, we have this:

https://raw.github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build-ci/master/publish/publish.sh (old way, BUILD_NAME/all/repo/)
https://raw.github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build-ci/master/publish/publish_new.sh (new way, BUILD_NAME/TIMESTAMP/all/repo/)

> that instead of an in-place move which reuses
> generic folder names like "staging" and "staging.previous", we
> composite build output using unique names like
> 2013-08-09_05-05-26-B7222/ or 2013-08-13_10-05-28-B7255

> We therefore need:
> a) to regenerate the composite site each time there's a new build
> published, in order to remove the oldest and add the newest (keeping
> only the Nth and N-1rst builds)
> (I have a script that might already work for this, or would need
> tweaking.)
> b) heuristics to determine when an older (N-2, N-3, ... N-z) build is
> no longer needed, perhaps simply by assuming no one needs it after 
> 24hrs?
> 24 hours should be more that enough.
> c) a cleanup script which can purge all but the builds which are no
> more than 1 day old, keeping at all times at least two builds (N and 
> N-1)
> (I have a script that already does this for folders like
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/nightly/core/trunk/ but
> might need to be tweaked to work for a new pattern of
> staging/\$\{JOB_NAME}/<BUILD_ID>/ .)
