[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=12952506#comment-12952506 ] 

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

I would continue with timestamped folders and regeneration of compsite[Content|Artifacts].xml files but there is something I din't take into consideration.
To make it work sequence of uploading for every new p2repos is really important. First p2repo should be uploaded, then compositeArtifact.xml with new 2repo included in list and then compositeContent.xml. The problem is we're not uploading directly to download.jboss.org host, but to internal host  synchronized with download.jboss.org. I guess that synchronization process could sync files in any sequence and we cannot control it. It means whatever we do we're still gonna get errors about missing artifacts in case files were synched in wrong sequence.
