My observation is that a new daily build usually shows up in its individual folder around 7 minutes after midnight Pacific time. Then what must be a separate process a few hours later, the "latest" files get copied into the "LATEST" folder.
Yep, the build runs at midnight and takes some number of minutes to complete. That's the 00:07 timestamp you see. Then, a separate cron job runs at 03:00 to update the link. It's silly, but since the builds go over FTP, which can't do links (AFAIK), I have to have something else update the latest link. Normally nobody notices this.
Yesterday's daily build didn't happen until 7:22 am. This must be some time after the process that populates the "LATEST" folder. Once that process runs today, the daily-20140708 files will get copied to the "LATEST" folder and everything will once again be in sync.
Yep, I'm in the process of moving the equipment that runs the builds (it's a long process) and the build failed the night before last because the windows build VM wasn't running. When I noticed this in the morning, I started it back up and re-triggered the build. That came after the 03:00 re-link of course.
I just looked and last nights 03:00 link fix ran and updated it, so I think we're fine now, right?
