Feature Request: Please demonstrate how to switch versions of artifacts via environment/config

[binduwavell]

Obviously we can edit the artifacts.json files. It would be great if there is a way to specify versions for repo/share/tomcat/etc all using common environment variables that are used for things like selecting edition.

The main idea on the roadmap is that we maintain a matrix of artifacts compatible with each supported alfresco version and easily switch between them (internally tracked as OPSEXP-2849).

As of now you can edit any artifacts.json as you figured out, then the quickest way is to run ./scripts/clean-artifacts.sh && ./scripts/fetch-artifacts.sh which will cleanup every archives from the docker build directories and then fetching all the artifacts again - eventually leveraging already downloaded artifacts present in the artifacts_cache folder.

Thank you.

I suspect that clean-artifacts.sh could do with a little love. The strategy of just searching for certain file extensions without using the artifacts.json files seems a little brittle but OK. However the last line that uses xargs to rm seems very dangerous. I believe that can have dangerous consequences if there are spaces in paths. You are probably safer using -exec arguments to find or using -print0 on find and -0 on xargs.
