Bug ID: 382099
Summary: valgrind release archive is not maintained
Product: valgrind
Version: 3.13 SVN
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jsew...@acm.org
Reporter: jrei...@bitwagon.com
Target Milestone: ---
The valgrind release archive at http://valgrind.org/downloads/old.html does not
list release 3.5 or anything newer (which would be up through 3.12.0 as of
today.) Old releases are useful for forensics (would a particular bug have
been detected by last year's release?) and for studies of software history. In
theory a complete source code revision history tree can provide all the
answers, but "there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip" in making an
actual release.
File storage space is a consideration: 14MB per recent release. Other
organizations have offered space and set up their copies
(https://sourceware.org/pub/valgrind/ as of today; thank you Mark Wielaard.)
If valgrind chooses not to maintain its own archive and page of links to it,
then a polite reference to such known friends would be appropriate.
