Subject: rt-tests release tarball location
Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2024 11:43:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241228114346.6020d6b0@windsurf> (raw)

Hello,

I am one of the co-maintainers of Buildroot, an embedded Linux build
system. Among many other packages, we obviously have rt-tests as one of
our packages. When rt-tests is built, we download it from kernel.org.
Unfortunately, the rt-tests tarballs are moved around: the latest
release is available at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/rt-tests/,
but as soon as another newer release is available, the older release
tarballs get moved to
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/rt-tests/older/.

This breaks the build for build systems such as Buildroot, that expect
a release tarball to stay at a given location, and not being moved
around.

Would it possible to keep the tarballs at the same location? Either by
not having the older/ folder entirely, or by populating it immediately
with the latest release, so that all releases are always available from
the older/ folder?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Thomas
