title: Remove artifacts from Hudson, but retain logs in order to link to builds
body: <p>We have the following requirements for our Hudson setup:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>We would like to directly link to all builds that have been executed</li>
  <li>The effective number of artifacts should be limited</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>It is possible to limit the number of maximum builds in Hudson per job (see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/805909/how-can-i-delete-hudsons-built-artifacts" title="How can I delete Hudson’s built artifacts?">this question</a>). This option effectively removes old artifacts. The problem is that this also removes all other information related to the build.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to retain linking directly to completed builds via <code>http://${hudson}/job/${jobname}/${buildnumber}</code>, even if artifacts were removed? Sometimes it may be good to commit fixes and link to the corresponding build error.</p>
