On Monday, following a build break, it became clear that several components of the build process had been broken as a result of switching to regularly-generated binary file listings, following our new release process; they had all been depending on a single file generated some time ago which listed binary files on the server, but of course we have been making changes to those files. I started debugging some diagnostic processes that had been broken for a while, but were not configured to fail the build, so had gone unnoticed; after that, I worked on the actual build failure. I’m now generating two distinct versions of the file listings, one of which is a simple list of filenames for quick checking, while the other has full paths, then a pipe, then the size in bytes, then another pipe, then the octal permissions. These are regenerated every night overnight.
On Wednesday, did a final checkin with NA to make sure everything is now working as expected.
