Hi Alexander,

I'm trying to download Origen 12.02 release https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/origen-ics-gcc46-sam... but its tarball downloads are not available. Where can I get the tarballs for this particular release?

http://releases.linaro.org/12.02/android/images/origen-ics-gcc46-samsunglt-s...

And that's actually something not really expected - looking at http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/~linaro-android/ , there's no even 12.03 releases there! Whereas the expectation is that all releases from the very beginning would be there (in particular, we with Gesha took care to migrate old releases, which were done before snapshots.l.o publishing was launched).

So, there may be 2 reasons for that: 1) they were manually deleted, for example to free up space on snapshots.l.o disk, in which case I hope it was well though out and discussed; 2) IS expiration script works wrong.

We have dir timestamps wrong on s.l.o, but digging deeper, for http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/~linaro-android/panda-ics-gcc46-omapzoom... , the oldest build as of today is http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/~linaro-android/panda-ics-gcc46-omapzoom... which is 2012-02-02, i.e. we do have 3 month retention there.

So, it seems that older releases were manually purged. Two things worth keeping in mind in that regard:

1. android-build.l.o points to snapshots.l.o for downloads. Anything on s.l.o gone - we have broken link.

2. Build artifacts (including old) are no longer stored on a-b, so if anything is gone from snapshots.l.o, it's gone forever (unless it's mirrored to yet somewhere else).

Thanks, Paul

I investigated with IS yesterday and found nothing conclusive.

IS doesn't delete file manually, they move them elsewhere in case of free space issue. I also have the permissions to delete them, which I didn't.

Ok, that's very good, did IS look in that backup place? And thanks for keeping an eye on this, I didn't have chance to follow s.l.o space issues lately ;-(. At least, I keep a close eye on a-b, and we now need disk space upgrade there too (ran out of tricks to free up more space, we really need more).

We double check yesterday. The release builds are blacklisted.

yes, we have 90 days of retention.

I'm still not convinced.
