Description David Williams

Carl and I noticed there are about 1000 empty directories in our webtools signing directory. This is surprising since 1) we should be cleaning them up, and 2) if we don't, seems like the webmasters (cronjob) should be (I think they have one that cleans up on files older than 14 days, or something). 

This has been happening for about 2 months, apparently. I wonder if related to when we got "permission" set so wtpBuild id could sign? 

We should check out logs, to see if any interesting messages have been being logged when we try to remove it? Something might have changed in infrastructure (since NSF) that it is just not ready to remove it when we try ... so, leaves it there, and we never go back to clean up?

In any case, just wanted to document the issue here.

Webmasters, 

including you on CC for your awareness. As far as we currently know, we do not need you to do anything ... my first guess (and yours :) is that we have some bug in our scripts, which we will investigate. 

But, wanted to include you on CC, just in case there was some larger issue you wanted to be made aware of.

I found an issue with our scripts - as of 6/25, we started making a signing directory to put content in there, but it doesn't appear that we are cleaning it up properly.

I committed a fix for this in scripts/build/signjars.xml - after reading up on Ant, if I understand the delete command properly, we want:

<delete includeemptydirs="true" deleteonexit="true">

I will leave this bug open for a little bit while I verify that this does fix the problem.

I also deleted almost all of the directories in 
/opt/public/download-staging.priv/webtools
(I left the libra directory and a directory owned by genie .)

For historical purposes, bug 350114 was the bug used to modify how signing is done in the webtools build.
