RE: [Xen-devel] Keep last 3 nightly builds (tarballs) around ifpossible?

I''ve updated the script to rename the previous night''s builds to xen-2.0-install.1.tgz the night before to .2 etc. It keeps the last three builds. I guess I should probably switch to using dates as snapshot identifiers, but that requires more thought.

That makes automation quite a bit simpler. -- Thanks, Paul Larson pl@us.ibm.com IBM Linux Technology Center _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
