Hi Gerke,
So far I've just manually deleted things and then just run the build
again. But if your using a continuous integration tool to publish the
artifacts, I see how it would be nice to have it automated somehow. I
wrote a quick ant target to do this for one project (see below). It
just get's the latest version, and then deletes all folders but that
version. If you had several modules, I guess you'd need to call a
parent build that called subant for this task on each module. I'm
still not sure when this would get run. I guess manually when you feel
the repository has gotten to large. Any thoughts?
<target name="clean-int" depends="load-ivy"
description="--> cleans the integration repository for the current
module">
<ivy:info file="${ivy.file}" />
<ivy:info property="lastbuild" organisation="${ivy.organisation}"
module="${ivy.module}" revision="latest.integration"/>
<echo>Deleteing all but revision ${lastbuild.revision}</echo>
<delete includeemptydirs="true">
<fileset
dir="${ivy.local.default.root}/${lastbuild.organisation}/${lastbuild.module}">
<exclude name="${lastbuild.revision}/**" />
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>
