Re: [orbit-dev] Ant bundle naming

[DJ Houghton <DJ_Houghton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since we got all +1s for this and also no objections during the last Orbit
call, I will proceed to rename this bundle.

I was planning on doing this on the command-line by just renaming the
folder on the server, but then I was wondering about the builds. In the
Platform we keep old bundles and tags around so our old builds are
re-producable.

Is this the case with Orbit as well or can we just remove the old bundle?

Thoughts?
