Ultimately it would, as well, be of great benefit if the artifact publishing worked initially in a staging area as not to confuse existing cron jobs attempting to validate md5's on the server. This would probably be best served in the systems default tmp directory.
That would be great.
I think, the best way for adding/replace stuff is
-- write a 'temp' -- rename 'temp' to 'file'
because a rename is truly atomic if 'temp' and 'file' are in the same file system.
If you can implement the 'temp' for 'file' to be, for instance, '.tmp.file', I can easily teach the checkers to ignore '.tmp.*' files. I think rsync does something like that (even better .tmp.$$.file).
Just a thought.
