616555 - Need a long-term storage solution for partner repacks

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

I'm not sure where partner repacks are living right now (kev's personal dir on people, maybe?), but we should have a dedicated place for them, be it a new server or subdir on an existing server.

Reqs:
* externally accessible so partners can retrieve their builds
* accessible from build network so we can move builds there as part of the release process
* not mirrored
* big enough to accommodate current usage + growth (kev can hopefully provide more detail here)

[Kev Needham [:kev]]

Partner repacks are currently pushed to surf:/mnt/netapp/stage/releases.mozilla.com/archive/partners/<partnername>/<version>/<platform>/<locale>/ and https://partnerbuilds.mozilla.com/ points at .../archive/partners as the root.

we should probably incorporate an aging system similar to what's on stage, although I'd probably suggest we archive major releases and decay point releases. some discussion on that needed, as a release is currently around 3.5GB.

Is there any IT action here?

As kev pointed out, these builds now live on surf.  How you want this aged out and trimmed is between kev and releng.  Please let me know if I am wrong and there is some IT action.
