[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-15135) Attach metadata during assembly instead of publish time

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15135?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13041021#comment-13041021 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-15135:
------------------------------------

0.  Build.properties (generated by publish.sh) contains: 

{code}REV_LOG_DETAIL="origin/jbosstools-4.3.0.Alpha1x at 79b3dcd80d3c6f96b3671f5eae6f25d94d5c3801"{code}

buildinfo.json contains: 
{code}
"revision" : {
        "HEAD" : "79b3dcd80d3c6f96b3671f5eae6f25d94d5c3801",
        "currentBranch" : "HEAD",
        "knownReferences" : [{
            "name" : "origin",
            "url" : "git://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build-sites.git",
            "ref" : "jbosstools-4.3.0.Alpha1x"
        }]{code}

So, that's awesome. All other metadata is also present in the json file, including:
{code}BUILD_ALIAS, JOB_NAME, BUILD_NUMBER, BUILD_ID
	TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION, TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAXIMUM{code}

---

However... a couple problems still exist here:

1. index.html generated for update sites does not provide a link to buildinfo.json. Without a link (next to site.properties, perhaps) how will anyone ever find this file?

2. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/jbosstools-build-sites.aggregate.site_4.3.mars/all/repo/buildinfo.json contains *HUDSON_SLAVE = null*. But there's a value for os.version and os.arch. Did something go wrong with the computation of `uname -a` ? Would still like to know the slave used to run the build. 

3. Also missing is WORKSPACE = /path/to/workspace/, so if we have to ssh to the slave to debug we know where the workspace is located (it's not the same on all slaves).

> In order to make it easier to deal with Nexus and to have an homogeneous way to access build metadata (commit id), it would be interesting to move creation of metadata at assembly time (same time as when we create index and so on), and put it directly into the site.
> Then whether we use Nexus or a home-made publication, we are sure that we can access metadata whenever we can access the binaries.
