What is this hotdog build?

  • thats just a temp folder for our new nighly build server

    test.libreelec.tv/ includes build from jenkins, /hotdog includes builds from github actions

    we are replacing soonish jenkins so this folder is gone

  • Do the new builds go straight into the hotdog folder? I just noticed that some builds of 20220524-992e6c1 are already in the hotdog folder but not in the main one.

  • we have currently running the old and the new system in parallel

    after the new testing server is deployed (this week) it is done properly again

  • Please inform us when all the images will become available only from the hotdog folder. Also, please add a releases.json for each subfolder, for the ones that want to use it as an update server for the nightlies.

  • Stuff is a bit broken right now due to not caring too much about old infra that broke itself (again) and people being super-busy with day jobs which is limiting time spent on the new infra which still needs some experimenting. Remember we're all just a bunch of volunteers doing this in our spare time for fun (allegedly) :)

  • jim_p the old test webserver has disk space issues. Whilst the builds are pretty much now all 100% reliable. (Have an issue with automake in the GitHub issues) when the job to copy them up fails - that results in the 0 file. Once the new webserver is going well - we should be better. The full image build happens daily and takes ~11 hours. I usually kick off a “fix build” for the failed upload images. And you will notice that a new file usually appears.

    But as chewitt says - (allegedly fun in spare time)
