Description Andrew Niefer

See bug 335723, if there is a problem deleting the assemblyTempDir in the cleanup.assembly target, then the build will fail.

Such problems could come for various reasons, one being a lagged nfs server (bug 335274).

We should instead do a move to a new location and make the delete use failonerror="false".  This way if the delete fails the build can still continue.

We can also consider changing the assemble scripts to use a per-config specific temporary folder like tmp.os.ws.arch .  This is related to the changes proposed in bug 283300.  I don't know if people's releng setups would be based on knowing the location of the default assemblyTempDir (buildDirectory/tmp)

fixed by moving tmp folder to tmp.os.ws.arch before trying to delete it

This fix breaks platform independent builds on windows because tmp.*.*.* is not a valid path.

Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.
