Hi Rich, > 1) When I got to downloads.lede-project.org, I see the following > directory structure: [...] I do NOT see any targets under the > /releases directory. Why?
I intentionally hid the "17.01-SNAPSHOTS" directory because it is not a fixed (as in non-moving) build, it merely reflects the build output of the current branch HEAD. > 2) Why doesn't the /releases directory mirror the /snapshots > directory? Because releases are structured slightly differently. > 3) I have discovered that the release images are available > /releases/17.01-SNAPSHOT/ Is this what we should document? No, please do not document that particular directory, see below. > 4) It's really confusing to talk about (and document) the release > candidates and the daily "trunk" builds. Currently, image file names > for stable build candidates contain the word "snapshot", while trunk > builds (in the /snapshots directory) do not: Those images are not stable build candidates but merely release branch snapshots, thats why they contain the word "snapshot" and also why they're currently hidden from the toplevel directory. I instructed the buildbot to produce tagged rc1 builds today, those will be true, fixed release candidate images which do not move. Once built, those images will appear in /releases/17.01.0-rc1/ and remain unchanged. In addition to that, there will be a corresponding "v17.01.0-rc1" tag in the repository which can be used to reproduce this particular images. The /releases/17.01.[0-9]* directories (once existing) which are not hidden are the ones that should be documented and referred to as fixed builds. > 5) What is the naming scheme for the final 17.01 image URLs? The RCs will be: /releases/17.01.0-rc[0-9]*/targets/$target/$subtarget/lede-17.01.0-rc[0-9]*-r####-XXXXXXX-$target-$subtarget-*.bin The finals will be: /releases/17.01.0/targets/$target/$subtarget/lede-17.01.0-r####-XXXXXXX-$target-$subtarget-*.bin > 6) When we release a new version (say, 17.06), what will those URLs > be? The RCs will be: /releases/17.06.0-rc[0-9]*/targets/$target/$subtarget/lede-17.06.0-rc[0-9]*-r####-XXXXXXX-$target-$subtarget-*.bin The finals will be: /releases/17.06.0/targets/$target/$subtarget/lede-17.06.0-r####-XXXXXXX-$target-$subtarget-*.bin > We'll adjust the documentation to match the results of this > discussion. Thanks. I appreciate your efforts on this, thank you :) ~ Jo _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
