Unpublishing build artifacts

Hi,

I'm looking at adding support for unpublishing build artifacts.

Basically, our .NET-based jobs create NuGet packages which are added as artifacts for the run but also pushed to a package server.

For our non-release CI jobs, I want to look at automating cleanup so that when the job is deleted, the packages are also removed from the package server.

This would ensure that a retention policy is only needed in Jenkins, not also in the package server.

I'm running into two problems:

- reacting to the job delete using RunListener works, and I can see the package artifacts in

order to determine which package(s) need unpublishing.

- However, I don't immediately see a means for storing information on the Run when doing the

push (like the server used) that can be picked up on the delete.

- it's also possible to delete the artifacts without deleting the entire run; however, there does not

seem to be a way to react to that at all.

- I also assume (but have not tested) that deleting the artifacts deletes the whole artifact, not just

the file data, so I would not be able to see that there used to be a package there when the job

is deleted.

Any suggestions/ideas?

Re: Unpublishing build artifacts

You could add an Action to the Run (https://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/model/Run.html#addAction-hudson.model.Action-) to store information about the artifact location on the server. Then when you are getting a delete, you could look for the Action and pull the necessary information from there.
