As part of our build process, we run an e4 SDK build as e4Build. Then we use hudson to create a 4.0 SDK build, and as part of that build it adds to a composite repo at /shared/eclipse/e4/build/e4/downloads/drops/4.0.0/targets/updates/4.0 which I can then sync onto download.eclipse.org. The problem is I need to clean up some of the older child repos (just delete them) but because the subdirs were created by hudsonbuild:callisto-dev I cannot delete them or even move them to another location. I'm looking for a good suggestion on how to deal with this. I can't have our hudson buildscript chown -R e4Build:user since chown says "no way". Would the same restriction prevent e4Build from deleting those directories if hudson did a chmod -R a+w ? The userids I have to work with are pwebster (committer) and e4Build (local build-only id).

One suggestion I would have would be to 1) Copy the entire composite repo to the build directory when you are mirroring 2) Add new child repos 3) Delete child repos as needed using the p2.composite.repository remove task 4) Rsync back with --delete to remove the files

Do we put the 4.0 created update site back in the hudson workspace? Then have my publish.sh script mirror it locally and manage an e4Build based composite repo? PW
Created attachment 173108 [details] runIBuilde4 patch put the update site back in hudson, and I'll modify my publish scripts to copy it out. PW
patch released and R4_HEAD builder tagged for next build
OK, I've migrated my build to my e4Build userid to avoid permission problems. Could one of the webmasters please get rid of the files in /shared/eclipse/e4/build/e4/downloads/drops/4.0.0/targets/updates/4.0-tmp for me? build_done.txt I20100623-1906 I20100627-1659 S-4.0RC0-201006181748 compositeArtifacts.jar I20100624-1511 I20100628-2215 compositeContent.jar I20100625-0821 I20100629-2126 I don't have permissions to remove most of them. PW
Done. -M.
Thanx, this issue is now complete. PW
