Yes, sorry. http will always redirect to the https site.

I added snapshots for trunk based on the binutils snapshots using
src-release.sh. Which is what ss/make-snapshot ultimately calls.

The snapshots can be found at:

https://snapshots.sourceware.org/gdb/trunk/

It gets regenerated every 15 minutes, if there have been any changes
since the last build. The latest can always be found here:

https://snapshots.sourceware.org/gdb/trunk/latest/src/

It doesn't generate snapshots for the branches yet. I think we don't
really need the diffs. We have to see if we can also do the ari and
docs updates on snapshots.sourceware.org.

Cheers,

Mark
