discarding workspace.zip

[szczepiq]

Hi guys,

I've noticed Hudson keeps workspace.zip in the 'builds' folder. It
seems useful for debugging builds but it consumes lots of disk space.
I know that there is a job configuration to discard old jobs. What I
really want is to keep old builds (for reference, trending, historical
data) but discard the workspace.zip. Just wanted to say that IMHO it
would be a useful feature.

Thanks!

Which VCS do you use? The only one I know of that does it is CVS, and it
only keeps CVS control files, so the zip file size should be fairly small.

Perhaps I should do .tgz compression for better compression ratio in
this case.

You're right. I didn't look too deep inside the zip. In that case I
don't care about the size too much.

Thanks for info!
