It is important to make sure the b3aggrcon files point to something that allows a "quick last minute rebuild" to be performed, if needed ... but beyond that, there's no specific rule or guideline about how or when to do it ... I think it depends on each project's (or release engineer's?) confidence in make the a quick, seemless, highly reliable transition. In other words, some projects update the b3aggrcon file to point to final locations, and remove the old locations, before the release date ... others leave the old in place and don't change the aggrcon file until after 6/27 "just in case. But, then they should shortly after the release.
To summarize ... or repeat ... It is fine to update the b3aggrcon file during quiet week, to point to an equivalent (final) repo if you'd like to do it "early" so you can get rid of "old" copy. Ideally, those that do this, would use the "Validate Aggregation" function from their own local b3 aggregator editor to make sure there are no typos or anything. It is important to make sure the b3aggrcon files point to something that allows a "quick last minute rebuild" to be performed, if needed. HTH From: "Konstantin Komissarchik" <[email protected]> To: "'Cross project issues'" <[email protected]>, Date: 06/12/2012 10:58 PM Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] Managing repositories referenced by simrel .b3aggrcon files Sent by: [email protected] I have a question regarding proper strategy for managing repositories on the download server that are referenced by simrel .b3aggrcon files. I just updated Sapphire contribution to reference [1], which is the final contribution but we aren’t officially calling it final yet. Per Final Daze document, on 6-25, I will copy this repository to [2] to make the release official. Then I’d like to clean up old 0.5 pre-release downloads. How do I safely do that since RC4 is still referenced by a .b3aggrcon file? Since further aggregator builds aren’t expected, do I update .b3aggrcon file on 6-25 to point to [2] and remove RC4 download? Do I wait until after 6-27 to do this?
