1219588 - firefox/nightly/latest-trunk is stale

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

Reported by smontagu on IRC - 
  http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ 
has recent builds, but
  http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
does not. And http://nightly.mozilla.org links to the latter.

In the old system latest-trunk was a symlink to latest-mozilla-central; when we synced to S3 a copy was done; new builds only get placed in latest-mozilla-central.

https://github.com/mozilla/nocturnal/pull/45 for nightly.mozilla.org to stop using latest-trunk. I'm proposing that we deprecate that with a README to go look in latest-mozilla-central.

Bug 1219588 - stop using firefox/nightly/latest-trunk, swap to latest-mozilla-central too.

While we're here: s,ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org,archive.mozilla.org/pub, for the S3-based system.
And drop for Apache sorting which no longer applies.

Why not restore the symlink? I have a script that was using latest-trunk to download the nightly zip for my platform but I discovered recently the zip hasn't been updated in latest-trunk since two weeks ago. If you're no longer going to update latest-trunk I think you should remove the zips there to force any scripts to break, this way anyone doing the same thing as I am doesn't end up with a stale nightly. You could do something like Nick suggested and add a readme or a filename like FILES_MOVED_TO_MOZILLA_CENTRAL

Sorry about the delay in dealing with this. I've emptied out the directory and left a README pointing to latest-mozilla-central.
