358181 - "latest" link on ftp servers still points to 1.5.0.7

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[:Gijs (away/busy until Mar 10)]

As in summary. Given I don't have a home internet connection at the moment (I should file a bug for that...) I simply don't have a fitting combination of time and facilities to check whether this applies to all mirrors or just to the few I've seen so far, but the link in the URL field seems to always point to
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/releases/firefox/1.5.0.7/
while I think it should be pointing to 
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/releases/firefox/2.0/

(The one mirror I'm sure is wrong is ftp://mozilla.cs.utah.edu/)

I couldn't find a dupe for this, but perhaps it should block the release bug, which I can't find either (huh?).

I've marked the bug minor given that I'm assuming nothing on mozilla.org actually actively points to that file/link, but if it does the severity should probably be upped.

That's all, I believe.

The staging server hasn't been updated yet, so all the mirrors will have this problem. 

Would a latest-1.5 be a useful symlink to leave pointing to 1.5.0.7 ?

Alright; I've made latest-1.5 link to 1.5.0.7, and latest point to 2.0. Mirrors should update over the next 24 hours.

I considered using latest-stable to point to 1.5.0.7, but... I'm not sure that's the right title for that directory (since 2.0 is pretty 'stable'). I don't know... this issue always comes up when you start having "latest" links.
