      I upgraded hudson from 1.276 to hudson 1.352 last week. With the new release, my lastSuccessful symlink is not being created anymore during the build process. before:

      aaronlab@btvxamsioidev1:/afs/btv.ibm.com/u/aaronlab/hudson_jobs/btv300mmbeol.DEV
      $ ls -l
      total 16

      after:

      aaronlab@btvxamsioidev1:/afs/btv.ibm.com/u/aaronlab/hudson_jobs/mmthis.DEV
      $ ls -l

          This issue can be closed (although, I still think its a problem). I found a workaround in issue 5070,http://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-5070, By adding -Dhudson.Util.symlinkEscapeHatch=true, the symlinks are being created again.

          Thanks.

          We are seeing this as well – Jenkins 1.38, Build Publisher 1.17.

          Should be fixed by PR #6, released in build published 1.19 (actually not tested on AIX, but if the issue is still present, it's rather but in Jenkins core, namely in Utils#createSymlink)

          Fix for JENKINS-18238

          Updated code to create symlink for the build (based on private instances
          build number) as well as update the PeepHolePermalinks.

          This should resolve:
          JENKINS-18238
          JENKINS-6096

          And may influence:
