Delete obsolete files¶
Script ifs_delete_obsolete_files.cmd/sh¶
The script ifs_delete_obsolete_files.cmd/sh is located in component fndbas/build folder, and will in a build home be located in the build folder.
The normal way to handle deleted files between releases is to create a new build_home. In pipelines it might be desirable to keep the old build_home even when upgrading to a new releases to have a uniform behavior on all deliveries. The ifs_delete_obsolete_files script can then be run as part of every delivery. The ifs_delete_obsolete_files will delete files given in a file list (generated by ifs_git_diff script). To ensure that moved or overtaken files are not deleted a comparison between the component structure(s) with the build_home will be made - this will prevent deleting all files in the given file list if the logic says it safer to keep the file.
The script accepts these arguments.
