File Operations Plugin

[suresh kumar]

This plugin's main goal is to provide File Operations as Build Step.


Following Operations implemented:

1) File Copy Operation

2) File Delete Operation

3) File Create Operation

4) File Download Operation

5) File Transform Operation

6) File UnTar Operation

7) File UnZip Operation

8) Folder Create Operation

9) Folder Copy Operation

10) Folder Delete Operation


This will be helpful for doing cross platform file operations. No need to 
search for Nix or Win commands to do file operations.


Future implementations

1) Tar Operation

2) Zip Operation


And also planning Post Build Operations 

1) HTML to PDF conversion [This will be helpful when sending a mail with 
report, pdf as attachment]


If any such scenarios please add here.


Message intention is to get some scenarios and helping hand to make this as 
awesome.


Thanks

Re: [GSoC 2016] - On the acceptance results (Jenkins project)

[Baptiste Mathus]

Arshad,


As you say, this is your first experience. Oleg explained that we actually
had to process dozens of applications. So, in the end, that's also life.
Your proposal was definitely correct, but as we also had only a few slots
allocated by Google (independently of us), we had to make some hard
choices.
I'm sure you understand you're not the only student whose proposal has not
been accepted.

See inline below.

What you have to understand is that, though Oleg handled much of the
administrative task of GSoC (thanks again for that, Oleg), he's not the
only one involved at all.
We were roughly between 10 and 20 people discussing and "voting" on
proposals.
So, you did receive many comments, and you handled some of them, but in the
end it's your proposal, and some of our comments wouldn't necessarily get
an agreement among all the contributors. So that's why it was up to you to
decide where you wanted to go. And anyway, as there were competing
proposals, that wouldn't ever guarantee anything.
Also, while Oleg tried to sum up the reasons for your proposal not being
accepted, there are probably also many other ones not listed/listable.
Many of them being a complex mix of discussions and so on and in the end
being impossible to sum up...

Yes, but many of us told you indeed that's not how it works. Many times. We
all participate here on our free time. So, reading a mailing list is just
different than receiving a private email about building Jenkins or the
likes. I would never have seen an issue if your private questions had been
about how to handle engaging with the community, or things along that.
Anyway, that's also part of the experience you gathered here IMO.

On the motivation and commitment, you are wrong. That counted a lot when
discussing and voting on your proposal. But as you may imagine, that cannot
be the only parameter.
You were indeed among the only students having started to work on the
project before the result. And that was clearly something we took
positively in account for your proposal compared to others.
As for the other students, you are right, I for one would indeed have liked
to also see some form of pre-commitment from the students, like yours.

But it's also much more complex than that obviously, like we human are.
Motivation and commitment DO count, really, a lot.
Respecting governance/"abiding" rules also does. And here, we are not even
talking about Jenkins rules,

Re: [GSoC 2016] - On the acceptance results (Jenkins project)

[Oleg Nenashev]

Dear Arshad,

I understand your concerns. This is a result of voting by mentors, so I do
not feel eligible to answer all comments on my own. Especially in the case
when I do not completely agree with the aggregated feedback. I'll forward
the concerns to mentors and let them discuss.

Please note that mentors and org admins had to process dozens of
applications in parallel. The objective of the first stage was to make
proposals reviewable and sizeable. That's what is required from orgs.
Polishing of proposals happens during the community bounding period.
Changing of proposals (e.g. UI restyling => radical changes) is explicitly
discouraged, so mentors follow the the idea a student has.

Best regards,
Oleg

>> balancing between WebUI and website projects

>>
>> I tried to  contribute to jenkins in any possible way long time before
>> Oleg send mail to all gsoc students to contribute to jenkins in any

>>
>> I made some small tweaks in main jenkins app ui and some other stuff that

>> whether to open PRs for small tweaks or not but no reply came.
>>
>> I am asking these question for feedback and not from hostility or to make
>> arguments, this is my raw experience that I had in last one and half month.
>> I tried my level best and gave 100% from the day I saw jenkins project on
>> GSoC that's why I really think it is worthy to ask these question.
