A problem with "push only on changes" is that the Infrastructure folks asked us to install a cron job that deletes nightly build files over "x" days old (currently x=7) to avoid consuming inordinate amounts of disk space. That strategy would have to be reworked for only intermiitten pushes. In addition, this would seem to violate the definition of what a "nightly build" means, as well as removing any assurance that I have the "latest" nightly build simply by looking at its date. > > James Mitchell > > sean > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
