Why do we even have individual symlinks in pub/src? Seems to me we
could replace the whole src directory with a symlink to source, and
eliminate one bit of release bookkeeping ...

For some reason we have

/pub/source/vX.X.X/

And

/pub/src/X.X.X

Note the missing v on the second. I dunno why we have both - did some
bad URLs get advertised at some point? If that's the case, perhaps we
could get rid of one set now. All the v8 announcements pointed to the
websites ftp browser, so I doubt anyone is likely to miss one set of
symlinks.

Regards,Dave.

the symlinks wre to make Peter happy ... he didn't like the 'v' in the
directory name, so we make the src directory that has 'non-v'd symlinks :)

And yes, that is the *only* reason there is a src directory ...

Urgh. No offence to Peter, but I think it's a helluva lot messier having
all those symlinks. Not to mention the binary/ dir which doesn't have a
non-v'ified bin/X.X.X equivalent. Can we lose /src and just keep /source
and /binary (personally I don't care whether or not we keep the v's on
the subdirs)?

It probably causes a lot of bandwidth to be wasted as well - I recently
found a mirror site that was mirroring the entire ftp ste using about 20
simultaneous ftp connections. I'll bet that didn't copy the symlinks as
symlinks and instead grabbed all the files again, each time it tried to
'sync'. I barred that particular site in the ftpd conf, but there could
be others of course.

That wasn't my idea.

So do I get rid of the src directory altogether then, since apparently
nobody likes, or wants, it? :)

Fine with me. It'll reduce the number of webpages built on svr2 somewhat
as well :-)

Sure.

Just to recap, I believe my complaint at the time was that release
announcements and the like were inconsistent regarding the version
names (not anymore, I think). But having duplicate directories on the
FTP server really doesn't help that. :)
