Subject: value of gdbadmin effort to create gdb daily/weekly source tarballs
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2024 10:34:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240415143428.GA24230@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi -

Observing regular system activity on sourceware, the gdbadmin cron
jobs to create the https://sourceware.org/pub/gdb/snapshots/ struck me
as something that perhaps is no longer that useful.  With git-archive
being able to immediately generate tarballs of any version, with git
diffs producing the deltas, is there any utility at all in still
producing these tarballs?

Would you like me to check logs as to how many accesses to this have
taken place?  (A very rough brief search indicated 99%+ were bots like
search engines and ai ingesters.)

- FChE
