[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-15482) Replace staging & staging.previous (two builds w/ reused URLs) with uniquely timestamped build URLs and auto-regenerated composite*.xml files

[Denis Golovin (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15482?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12974727#comment-12974727 ] 

Denis Golovin commented on JBIDE-15482:
---------------------------------------

Just follow the messages from Jenkins, especially during first attempt to build JBT after code freeze.

There is no need to escalate it.

Sync issue can be fixed. We just need to do publishing step by step. Publish p2 repo and wait until it accessible through http. There are examples of maven plugin to do such wait (see https://github.com/dgolovin/maven-wait-plugin) or it can be done in shell if you are familiar with it. Then publish compositeArtifacts.xml and wait again until it is available online, and then publish compositeContent.xml.

> 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>/ .)
