Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Why allowing Hudson to write to your downloads is a Bad Idea.

but you get away from the manual 'omg someone deleted X, or deployed
malicious Y to Z and I can't go back, what do I trust?'...you can dig
through git history to see what happened where

as it stands now, while I have shell access to builds I can do
whatever I want on the machine locally

if your hudson builds just checked it into git and a person (live or
replaced by a very small shell script) would be required to put the
content live and in the correct location so it would appear on
downloads.eclipse.org

unless you want to talk about git access credentials being compromised
and oh gee, lets just shut it all down and go play in our little
sandboxes

cheers,
jesse
