[chirp_devel] LATEST link
HI all! I suppose something went wrong on last build as the chirp_daily/LATEST link still point to daily-20140618 and so the "download latest" link goes to the wrong place.

Marco,
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.
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.
So I don't know if the time that the new daily builds automatically occur got changed or if for some reason the new build didn't automatically occur and had to be manually triggered later in the day. I know for sure that this same thing happened for the daily-20140618 build. Looking at the time stamp of the last several folders, I'll bet that this has happened for the last three builds.

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.

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?

There are similar processes that build the Fedora RPMs as well - I happened to see the e-mail fore the (late) new build yesterday and "kicked" the script to run manually. Looks like they made it OK.
