Hello,

We started migrating Android build artifacts as produced by
https://android-build.linaro.org/ to http:///snapshots.linaro.org
almost 2 months ago and now the migration can be pronounced complete.
>From now on, http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/ is the master
download location for all Android builds, with all builds done in last 2
months available there, important historical builds (*1) migrated
there too, and archiving on android-build.linaro.org now turned off.
There are several benefits for hosting Android builds directly on
snapshots.linaro.org:

1. It is a central place for all Linaro downloads.
2. It allows to manage EULA protection in centralized manner.
3. It allows for consistent structuring and styling.
4. It allows for better space and retention policy management.
5. It alleviates Infrastructure team from maintaining Android
downloads on the Jenkins server, allowing us to concentrate on build
side of it.

Please note that this change is transparent to
https://android-build.linaro.org/ - artifacts can still be download
from its detailed pages, the links just point to
snapshots.linaro.org . All existing artifacts also stay available on
android-build.linaro.org, so any previously disseminated links remain
valid (*2).


*1 Only historical releases were migrated to snapshots.linaro.org,
historical daily and developers' built were not due to concerns with
current disk space availability on snapshots.linaro.org. But both daily
and developers' builds are subject to expiration (lifetime 3 months
max), and with 2 months of snapshots.linaro.org archiving, there's only
one month's worth of builds left on android-build.linaro.org, which
would expire shortly.

*2 Subject to expiration policy, per (*1)
