While that's a nice sentiment, we can't ignore the disk space usage that this implies. If we take as an example 6 supported boards, and 6 images (3x2G, 1x1G, 1x.5G, 1x.1G), that's ~48G per month, so in one year ~0.5T of images. I haven't done the maths to factor in the bandwidth here. We can only do this if we change our image retention policy. I think that the benefit of this change is worth doing that, but we can't naïvely start generating all of this without considering these questions. Thanks, James P.S. if anyone replies saying that it doesn't matter because disk space is cheap, I shall be forced to nominate you as Linaro sysadmin for this cycle. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
