Description Mark Macdonald

A user informed me that the Orion release builds currently contain a bunch of extra files for each minified module. For example, the edit page from the Orion 11 release:

…org.eclipse.orion.client.ui_2.0.0.v20160224-0310.jar/web/edit/
  edit.js
  edit.js.map
  edit.js.src.js     *
  edit.js.src.map    *
  built-edit.js      *
  built-edit.js.map  *
  built-edit.js.src  *

The files marked * are useless -- they are never loaded by the browser (not even for source maps), and they increase the size of the edit folder by 3x.

I think some previous version(s) of the build produced those additional files. Since we never clean the workspace used by Hudson jobs [1], official Orion builds have been shipping these vestigial files ever since.

They should be removed.


[1] This problem was caused by bug 436174. Because the build pollutes the working tree itself, we need to run something like `git clean -fd` on the build workspace to remove the garbage.

Mark, do you know how to fix this?  If easy, can you just do it?

Mark, if you are not able to get to this easily/quickly, just say so.

I think we can delete the git clone in the Hudson workspace, forcing the builkd to clone it from scratch, and that will clear out the old junk.

Not sure if I have permission to do that -- will check tomorrow.

I cleaned the Hudson workspaces, and the unwanted files appear to be gone.
