    Description

      Hi everyone,

      The new year is starting and we have a brand new mailing group for
      hudson users.
      The future of Hudson looks brilliant.

      However there was a request for enhancement proposed last year by
      Michael March, which seems to been left over despite the interest
      shown by users: ability to have the 'builds' directories not be a
      branch off the "jobs/job_name" hierarchy.
      http://hudson.361315.n4.nabble.com/builds-directory-in-a-separate-location-td2994828.html

      In the discussion there is a patch proposed to eventually set 2
      additional variables besides HUDSON_HOME:

      HUDSON_WORKSPACES
      HUDSON_BUILDS

      So that you can have a Hudson configuration like this:

      HUDSON_HOME=/stable_filesystem/hudson/
      HUDSON_WORKSPACES=/fast_ssd_filesystem/workspaces/
      HUDSON_BUILDS=/slow_sata_high_capacity_raid/builds/

      Anyone could have a look at the patch proposed and provide some
      feedback?

      Thanks a lot,
      Francois
