Hi folks,
I've checked the build this morning on SF, and it looks beautiful! So let's review the possible problems still outstanding:
1. Build Info Feri want to move that in the resources, with good reason. This will probably affect you very little, but needs to be done. We can still keep it in the .zip file (it is tiny) as it's a lot easier accessible for others. However, if we do that, the file will need to use DOS line ends, as this file will probably be viewed by folks on Windows boxes. Anyway, from your point of view it will probably mean a 'unix2dos' and a 'cp' before the build.
2. Uploading to SF This works nice now, but I'm afraid it may not when we have more than one person doing it. Namely, a release needs to be created, will that not fail if it already exists? Can we check that? If that's a problem, how are we going to deal with it? Kevin, can you please try to see if what happens if you upload two files (with differents sfutils invocations) into the same release?
3. Downloading from SF I just realized there is a time delay for the uploads to be propagated to the mirrors. What URL are we going to use for downloading? How long are we going to allow for the propagation to happen? Anyone has experience with this?
4. Release lifetime It would be nice to have the "WineTest Files" package visible on SF. I have made it so for testing purposes now. However, it will become ugly soon, because we don't hide the old releases. We can hide the entire package, and that would solve the ugliness problem, but it would be much nicer to have an automatic way of hiding old releases, and having just the latest releases visible. Can we maybe modify the sfutils to do this for us?
We are very close on this front. I'm very happy with the state of things right now, I hope we can resolve these in a few days.
