BK snapshots removed from kernel.org?

BK snapshots removed from kernel.org?

[Norberto Bensa]

Hello,

Why were snapshots (-bk) removed from www.kernel.org? I can't see any relevant 
post in LKML.

Many thanks in advance,
Norberto

It happens whenever the kernel.org scripts get confused. It's happened
at least once before; this time I think it happened when the fixes
from 2.6.11.6 were merged into Linus's BK tree.

You can still get to the snapshots using this URL, but as I said, the
scripts are confused right now:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/

Hm. No. I mean there are no more testing-bk snapshots. For example. I can't 
find 2.6.12-rc1-bk2.bz2; I have downloaded it on Saturday, but I can't find 
testing bk snapshots anymore. Is this what you are referring as "scripts are 
confused"? Or am I obliged to use bitkeeper from now on?

Many thanks,
Norberto

Did you look in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/old/ ?

So "script are confused" mean "look in snapshots/old" :D
I was expecting them to be in testing/something...

Thanks Randy and Barry!

Yes I did.

Latest is 2.6.12-rc1-bk2, March 26.

None since then?

I can't explain it other than "the snapshots are broken."
All I do is look around for them, and behold, just look in

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/

for the 2.6.11.6-bk snapshots.

It's confusing and it needs to be fixed....

Jeff, is there some way that I can help to fix this,
with the requirement (for me) that I not be required to use BK?
I'll munge scripts or whatever...
but I guess that I'll also need a kernel.org account to do that.

This madness ensues each time Linus pulls GregKH's tree
into his. The script stops snapshotting against Linus'
tree, and opts to produce -bk's against GregKH's for
some bizarre reason.

Should hopefully just be changing get-version.pl ...

hmm, it's going to go a bit nutso when it finds the most
recent TAG: is from the bk pull of 2.6.11.x into Linus tree.
So it generates -bk from /that/ instead of 2.6.12.

Could hack around it by checking the cset is from Linus I suppose ?

Correct (your description, not the code...), that is the problem that 
causes snapshots to go bonkers.


> Could hack around it by checking the cset is from Linus I suppose ?

Probably best just to parse the Makefile, since TAG is no longer a valid 
indicator.

Nah, this simple patch to snapshot fixes it.

I've also generated the 2.6.12-rc1-bk3 snapshot and fixed up the
directory on kernel.org so it should now work properly if you apply the
patch.

Sorry about this issue, I never thought that tags in the bk tree would
cause such a mess...

thanks,

Hi, have the incremental patches been fixes as well? Last is 2.6.11-bk9 to bk10...

incrementals never worked for the -rc bk snapshots, as I don't think
they were turned on (they are automatically generated with some other
script somewhere...)

I just make them myself when I need them, I have a script around here
for that...

bah, drowning in helper scripts, the story of a programmer's life.
