In the wake of bug #279260 that continues to break the ISO builds, I've |
| 2 |
restructured the symlinks under releases/$ARCH. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Previously with autobuilds, we only have one symlink, current/, at the |
| 5 |
same level as autobuilds. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Now there are two [1] convenience symlinks, pointing to symlinks of the |
| 8 |
same name inside the autobuilds directory. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Inside the autobuilds directory we have: |
| 11 |
- one or more YYYYMMDD directories |
| 12 |
- current-iso symlink to actual date. |
| 13 |
- current-stage3 symlink to actual date. |
| 14 |
- latest-iso.txt |
| 15 |
- latest-stage3.txt |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If a spin fails to generate an ISO or stage3, that won't be considered |
| 18 |
for updating the symlink. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Example for x86: |
| 21 |
================ |
| 22 |
The last successful spin with an ISO was 20090623. The last spin for |
| 23 |
stage3 was 20090804. |
| 24 |
current-iso -> 20090623 |
| 25 |
current-stage3 -> 20090804 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Open Questions: |
| 28 |
=============== |
| 29 |
This poses an issue regarding which stage3 should be considered as |
| 30 |
valid to update the symlink. ARM generates 2 totally different stage3 |
| 31 |
in a spin, should a failure of just one cause the symlink to not |
| 32 |
update? Many of the architectures have this issue: |
| 33 |
stage3-amd64 |
| 34 |
stage3-amd64-hardened |
| 35 |
stage3-amd64-hardened+nomultilib |
| 36 |
stage3-armv4tl |
| 37 |
stage3-armv5tel |
| 38 |
stage3-hppa1.1 |
| 39 |
stage3-hppa2.0 |
| 40 |
stage3-i486 |
| 41 |
stage3-i686 |
| 42 |
stage3-i686-hardened |
| 43 |
stage3-ppc |
| 44 |
stage3-ppc64-32ul |
| 45 |
stage3-ppc64-64ul |
| 46 |
stage3-s390 |
| 47 |
stage3-s390x |
| 48 |
stage3-sh4 |
| 49 |
stage3-sh4a |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
These are issue-free presently: |
| 52 |
stage3-ia64 |
| 53 |
stage3-alpha |
| 54 |
stage3-sparc64 |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Notes: |
| 57 |
====== |
| 58 |
1. Some architectures don't release ISOs. So only one symlink and text |
| 59 |
file for them. |
