We don't export the .deb package itself. What we export is the complete
hwpack for such "pure" upstream CI jobs:
http://ci.linaro.org/kernel_hwpack/(in this case:
http://ci.linaro.org/kernel_hwpack/TI-working-tree/TI-working-tree_tilt-linux-linaro-3.1_panda-omap4plus/)
... can you find that build there?

(I don't know about the retention policy on that place atm.)

Short term I see two things that would be really important:
 1. a really easy to find link to the LAVA job submitted
 2. good display of the meta information of the build/lava job submitted
which would include the link to the hwpack (as that is what is passed to
LAVA as one artifact) as well as information about the git source and
commit (and we could make a link to gitweb out of it when visualizing this
job).

Ultimately, we want to have a way to have all meta-information for all
steps of a CI job nicely visualized (e.g. automerging, auto buiding,
validating, etc.).

Anyway, we should start thinking about visualizing CI jobs and make them
navigatable soon. I don't want to see us making the mistake again to wait
for a nice UI until all the plumming is done. That approach just leave lots
of value on the floor! I am sure Andy, Ricardo and Danilo are already
thinking about this though :).
