Description John Arthorne CLA 2012-04-03 09:13:08 EDT 
The Orion build assumes this directory exists:

/shared/eclipse/e4/build/e4

Today that directory did not exist and the build failed. Two things:

1) Why did that directory disappear? David?
2) We should probably use a different directory for the Orion build to avoid potential collision or confusion with the e4 or platform builds.
Comment 1 John Arthorne CLA 2012-04-03 09:53:43 EDT 
Simply recreating the directory allowed our build to run successfully. The directory can be empty when the build starts and it will checkout the needed files. I can add a mkdir to the build script, but first I want to consider moving it to another folder. David is the e4 or platform build using this directory too?
Comment 2 David Williams CLA 2012-04-03 10:16:23 EDT 
I don't think it is, but do think I thought it was. 

I see a 'build' directory in the "oldOrObsolete" directory which is where I put  things I didn't understand and which were confusing me.  

/shared/eclipse/e4/oldOrObsolete

For the eclipse 4.2 builds, I have started to use 
/shared/eclipse/eclipse4

I suggest for orion you move to 
/shared/eclipse/orion 

to improve separation of builds. (They still have some permission fix-ups to make, bug 375104, but once that's done, should be easy). 

That /shared/eclipse/e4 directory is "a mess" :/ 

Apologies for the mix up.

I'm not feeling quite that brave. 98% of our build is currently in /shared/eclipse/e4/orion and we have quite a few scripts relying on it (build, rsync, cleanup, etc). I'm going to consolidate everything under /shared/eclipse/e4/orion. I think I can manage that because it just involved moving our "build support" directory.
