Description Beth Flanagan 2015-12-04 12:58:03 UTC 
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8734 is an example of this.

During our release, we move the release bits to various locations on the autobuilder infrastructure. Downloads is supposed to pick them up and rsync them to the appropriate places. This doesn't seem to be happening anymore.

I know part of the reason why is that we were generating so much data that we moved to an as needed model, but I'm wondering if:

a. That is how we really want to do this as it seems to cause issues.
b. If we do want to have it occur this way, if there isn't a better way to ensure all release bits are picked up.

Perhaps this is just documentation on for infrastructure release process or reimplementing the cron rsyncs?

New release directories are automatically created. For changes to existing releases intervention is still required.
Comment 2 Bogdan Alexandru Voiculescu 2016-05-09 14:24:31 UTC 
We have not seen anymore problems in this area. Marking this as verified.
