It's very hard to predict the names or use them in automation

But we still need something to make the names unique, of only because of build2 and so on. Any suggestions ?

Nick, what do you think about this? The dir names are not unique per invocation but per build number.

Comment on attachment 519055 [details] [diff] [review] snippet dir name Looks like it would work for when we have no problems with the automation or app. What would the workflow be if we have to manually tweak the snippets ? I don't want to overwrite any existing directory, that's too dangerous. So duplicate the original .../staging/snippets/<dir> to <dir>.original, and modify dir ?

At the moment we have only 2 builders (updates and MU) which upload to this directory. > What would the workflow be if we have to manually tweak the snippets ?

AFAIK, we usually follow this work flow if we need to modify snippets even for dated dirs. BTW, the current implementation doesn't allow 2 builds within 1 day.

Staging tries to upload using the following commands: rsync -av -e 'ssh -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/cltbld_dsa' aus2.test/ cltbld@staging-stage.build.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/Firefox-4.0b12-build1-test rsync -av -e 'ssh -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/cltbld_dsa' aus2.test/ cltbld@staging-stage.build.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/Firefox-3.6.14-build3-test rsync -av -e 'ssh -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/cltbld_dsa' aus2.test/ cltbld@staging-stage.build.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/Firefox-3.5.17-build1-test rsync -av -e 'ssh -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/cltbld_dsa' aus2.test/ cltbld@staging-stage.build.mozilla.org:/opt/aus2/snippets/staging/Firefox-3.5.17-build1-3.6.14-build3-MU-test
