expose ability to create/unpack tar.gz / zip as a workflow step

XMLWordPrintable

      it is sometimes usefull to create a zip (or tar.gz) of some files ina workspace to archive as a single unit.

      However to do this you need to rely n platform tools to create the file.
      Whilst on Unix/Linux this is not too hard on windows it is a PITA requiring either extra tools or powershell scripting - neither of which is portable.

      It would be nice if Jenkins/javas ability to create tar.gz/zip was exposed as a native step.

          relates in part to JENKINS-30024 and ability to migrate from dist-fork to workflow.

          Would it suffice for JENKINS-26942 to include a syntax for directories, which internally kept them as an archive?

          Or an easier way of running Ant, which includes all sorts of tools like this available wherever you have a JVM?

          Not really necessary for archiving as such, since you can already archive a whole directory, and it is available as artifacts, either individually or (using special URLs) as archives, from the build page.
