Raghu Angadi resolved HADOOP-2147. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix I thought not removing build dir was more prevalent convention. Any way, using custom build directory might need some fixes : {noformat} > ant > ls build ant classes examples hadoop-0.16.0-dev-datajoin.jar hadoop-0.16.0-dev-streaming.jar test c++ contrib hadoop-0.16.0-dev-abacus.jar hadoop-0.16.0-dev-hbase.jar src webapps ------ > ant -Dbuild.dir=buildx > ls buildx ant c++ classes examples src test webapp {noformat} Both builds were successful. > 'ant clean' should not remove build directory. > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2147 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2147 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Raghu Angadi > Priority: Minor > > It would be better if 'ant clean' does not remove build directory. Many > projects do not remove this dir. One advantage of not removing is that, I can > symlink the build to another place (e.g. /mnt/scratch/) and keep the source > code in more reliable place. I will submit a patch if this sounds ok. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
