Hi,
I'd like to add an extra constraint on the design if possible. As
everyone has pointed out we want an index in to this stuff that users
will use, so I think my constraint has a place. It has been complained
about many times, but it's not going to go away without some work on our
part.
Currently we require sysadmin intervention when we add a new
image/hwpack so that they can be synced to snapshots.linaro.org. I would
like to remove this restriction, but one of the issues is that the
hierarchy we have on snapshots.linaro.org is nothing like the one that
is produced by offspring.
We can obviously change offspring, but the current hierarchy doesn't
obey simple rules that we can code in to the tool.
This affects snapshots more than releases. However, releases can be done
with a click from within offspring now, rather than by someone copying
files around. If we want to use that feature the releases should use the
same hierarchy as snapshots.
Thefore my request is that there be a set of simple rules used to place
the results of a build that uses information available to
offspring.linaro.org.
Thanks,
James
