--45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, As the number of architectures per branch has been increasing with the addition of FreeBSD/arm builds, it has become increasingly difficult to keep the delay between the build completion for all branches and "staleness" as minimal as I would like. One of the problems in particular is that by the time the builds for head/ have finished, all other branches have already completed, and have begun propagation across the FTP mirrors. This makes it less ideal to build all branches against the same subversion revision, since there is a longer delay between build completion for stable/9, for example, and the time they are announced. To resolve this delay issue, I'll be experimenting in various ways to reduce the "staleness" factor as much as possible. For starters, rather than building all branches simultaneously against the same subversion revision, branches will be built individually against the latest subversion revision for the branch at that time. Meaning, the latest subversion revision will be checked and set for stable/9 builds, and once they have completed, they will be pushed to FTP, and propagation will begin. After they are pushed to FTP, the stable/10 builds will begin against the latest subversion revision at that time, and pushed to FTP after completion. Then the builds for head/ will begin in the same fashion. As result of this, announcement emails about snapshots will be branch-specific, which turns out to be better, since it is less likely that important information regarding a specific branch will be accidentally omitted.
