Hi guys,

Sorry to come out of nowhere 2 weeks after the events. I just found out I can't download any linux build after 2015-03-25-01-02-06 nightly.mozilla.org. Are the x86_64 builds supposed to be dropped since this bug? If so, what was the reason why we stop them but we kept the windows builds?

The 64-bit linux builds are being produced by TaskCluster, and so are available via https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/artifacts/#/

Windows and OSX builds continue to be product by Buildbot for the moment, but should also be available via the taskcluster artifact browser.

Thanks for this rapid answer. I guess we'll need to put the links on nightly.mozilla.org, so contributors could keep downloading the builds. I opened bug 1151842 to track that.

For potential future readers, I found the latest b2g-desktop builds for Linux at https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/artifacts/#buildbot.branches.mozilla-central/buildbot.branches.mozilla-central.linux64_gecko . You'll need to download target.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2.

Flipping the bug to verified, as I can confirm: they are not published anymore.

Did we cancel 32-bit builds for the architecture's obsolescence, or...?

Would be really nice to have a warning about this kind of thing for the websites. nightly.mozilla.org just suddenly doesn't have these products available for download, and that taskcluster.net thing doesn't appear to allow us to easily discover the URL to the download file. Can we get these files copied into FTP for now until we have time to fix the website, or do we really not care if anyone can find them?

Another FYI: A whole lot of things (nightly.m.o and Soccoro included) scrape FTP to know what's available. If this is a trend then we'd like to know well in advance of the next FTP product removal.
