For the purposes of automating the TarballTable we need to have the release process generate a latest-blah and md5 files for all tarballs (snapshot, RC, and release). And given that an RC effectively replaces the run-of-the-mill ntp-dev snapshots it makes sense to use the latest-dev file. I'm please to note that the RC tarball release process did the Right Thing and the development links (including the MD5 link) point to RC1. It looks like I need to revisit the TarballTable script and fix the version column to include an RC tag. Maintaining copies of the RC tarballs, or just sym-links to the dev snapshot tree, in the release directory (whatever the reason) has no effect on the TarballTable. My only suggestion, which echos a previous comment, is that we use the same file name in both locations to prevent confusion. -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://ntp.isc.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
