D:
I tried using a maven repository and it doesn’t know that the tarballs are
snapshots so it lets you store as many as you want. I guess we could fudge a
maven environment and generate the tarballs as snapshots, but that’s silly work.
I know I can do the versioning with a script. But, since artifactory already
has a similar approach for maven/gradle/ivy, it would seem symmetrical to have
a similar policy for generic repositories. Plus, we are actually deploying our
artifacts from bamboo using the default artifactory plugin so we would have to
reproduce that.
It just seems this is something that artifactory should support.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: Snapshots for a generic repository
I had a similar problem with these OVA appliances (versioned releases, not
snapshots) one of our teams produces nightly - ended up “fixing” it by writing
a python script that uses the artifactory API to list the contents of a
repository, sort them by date, and delete the oldest ones. (We retain 7, but
the idea is the same.) Then added it to crontab.
Interested in knowing if there’s a better way.
Theoretically, I suppose you could use a maven repository to store tarballs.
For some reason, I’ve got a maven repo with a bunch of ISOs in it. :-D
