Hello,
Firstly, I'm pleased to report that nightly snapshots appear to be
working reliably. See the directory:
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/gdb/snapshots/
For those that are curious, ``-D'' is used so that while each snapshot
is created during the afternoon, it contains the sources from exactly
``00:00 GMT'' each morning.
Secondly, as part of this revamp I've changed what is created. Instead
of a plithera of snapshots and diffs (gdb, insight, dejagnu,
gdb+dejagnu, insight+deajgnu), I'm now only creating snapshots and diffs
for:
gdb+dejagnu
and insight+dejagnu
The rationale for these changes are:
o People using snapshots probably
want to put GDB through its
testsuite before using it...
To do this reliably, a synchronized
gdb and dejagnu are needed.
Combining the two into a single
snapshot should simplify this.
o It reduces greatly the total
amount of data being shaddowed
by remote sites.
Finally, I've seen a request for md5 or brik checksums of all files.
I've added that to my list of things to do.
If people have comments or objections, please let me know.
Andrew
PS: For what its worth, for many years I was dependant on the nightly
snapshots. One frustration I found was the constant need to
download/apply/merge both gdb and dejagnu diffs. Having dejagnu bundled
in with gdb, I think, is much easier. Hopefully others will agree :-)

Hi,
I am missing the CVS "ready" snapshots, I mean the snapshots which I can
unpack and then do a cvs update on them to keep in sync. Any plans to
put them back?

I've plans to add a separate archive containg the missing CVS bits.

I've changed things so that there are be weekly CVS snapshots (more
frequent is of marginal benefit as the first thing you do is cvs update
anyway :-).
In addition, starting tomorrow the nightly snapshots will include md5
sums.
If, after a week, none of this appears to be true, please let me know.

This md5 file turns out to be quite a pest. About 90% of each
*diff.bz2 file is devoted to this file alone, which bloats the diffs
tremendously. Some of us have a slow modem to fetch the files, so
each KB counts...
Is it possible to just put md5 on sourceware, for those who need it,
and remove it from the diffs?

This sounds wrong. Hmm, wonder if the process I used to order the md5
file was stable :-/

This should now be fixed (it will take an extra day before the problem
flushes itself though). I included the directory name in the md5 file
list :-(
