356421 - Nightly build directories sorted per platform and branch

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 413572

I would very much like to have a directory where I can find nightly builds
for a specific platform/branch. For example something like this:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/mac/trunk/
   2006-08-12-06/
     seamonkey-1.5a.en-US.mac.dmg
   2006-08-31-16/
     seamonkey-1.5a.en-US.mac.dmg
   ...

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/mac/branch-1.8/
   2006-10-01-13/
     seamonkey-1.5a.en-US.mac.dmg
   2006-10-02-14
     seamonkey-1.5a.en-US.mac.dmg
   ...

and the same for other "platforms", e.g.
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/win32/trunk/
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/gtk1/trunk/
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/gtk2/trunk/
etc.

This would make it easier to find which builds are available when
testing when a specific regression occurred.

(I think this can be implemented using symlinks so the disk space
cost would be low)

This is really more of a build/release RFE then staging.

Is this still an issue ? Would something like bug 413572 be helpful ?

Yes.

Yes, the "View all available builds" on http://nightly.webkit.org/
is somewhat what I had in mind.

Ok, I'm going to dupe forward then. Help welcome there.
