Hello all,
Jan was asking about the snaphots we provide on sourceware's
FTP server. And indeed, we have many!
We produce weekly snaphots, and daily patches, I believe.
As far as I can tell, the scripts are supposed to delete old
snapshots, only keeping a certain number of every kind (numbers
depend on the type of file - for instance we keep more daily
diffs than we keep weekly tarballs).
I believe that the scripts do not delete old snapshots after
we increment the version number, so old snapshots have been
accumulating:
- HEAD snapshots: 1.2GB with ~230 files;
- branch snapshots: 3.6GB with ~630 files.
(we have snapshots dating back to 6.3)
I am going to do some cleanup, but how far back do we want
to keep?
Thanks,
--
Joel

What's the rationale for having snapshots at all when we have anoncvs access?

It was Before My Time, but my suspicion is that we want to allow
access to snapshots without requiring CVS. Is that worth keeping?
That's why I'd like to know if there are any logs that would allow
us to measure how often these snapshots are downloaded...

I need only the very latest snapshot. For more I (=Fedora releases) would
need all the snapshots for the last approx. a year (for the case a Fedora
release is made from one of those).

As they are made from "src-release", that is like "make dist".
Users fail to build it from repository (such as due to bison + flex).

I cleaned up a bit the ftp. I hope I didn't screw up for the branch
tarballs, as I only kept snapshots from version 7.4 and up, not
realizing at first that 7.4 was only in Apr of this year. For
the head, I was a little more conservative, and kept everything
from 7.3 and up (Nov 2011).
