User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/43.2357.81 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: I get my daily developer edition fix from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-aurora-win64/latest/ ... but the directory link isn't updated anymore since October 2015. Actual results: The 'latest' directory points to an ancient build Expected results: The 'latest' directory always points to the latest (sic!) build
Yay, my user agent spoofer works :-) ... btw I didn't check other 'latest' directory links, so this might no be the only broken one.
CCing Sylvestre from release engineering team, he might know something about these links.

I also moved the bug to another component, probably not the right one but hopefully a better fit than www.mozilla.org :)
:nthomas/rail, are you aware of anything that may have changed to break the latest symlink? It looks like we still pass in --release-to-latest-tinberbox-builds to post_upload.py: Running post-upload command: post_upload.py --tinderbox-builds-dir mozilla-central-linux64 -p firefox -i 20160808154720 --revision 720b5d2c84d5b253d4dfde4897e13384dc97a46a --release-to-tinderbox-dated-builds --release-to-latest-tinderbox-builds This looks like it affects all builds, not just mozilla-aurora-win64.

AFAIK we don't use symlinks anymore (because S3), but I'm not sure if we copy files to that directory using https://github.com/mozilla-services/product-delivery-tools/tree/master/post_upload ...

Rail's right. We pass the flag --release-to-latest-tinderbox-builds but it's a no-op since last October, when we moved to the backend storage to AWS S3. They latest/ directories are deprecated at this point but I'd forgotten to remove them - that's been done now. There are two alternatives I can offer. For the latest developer edition *nightly*, use https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-aurora-latest-ssl&os=win64&lang=en-US Other language at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/all/ if you wish. These builds can keep themselves up-to-date using the builtin updater. If you really want the very latest change to land in the aurora repository (like you were before), then I suggest the taskcluster index, eg https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/artifacts/#gecko.v2.mozilla-aurora.latest.firefox/gecko.v2.mozilla-aurora.latest.firefox.win64-opt
