Right, I saw that when I looked at that page. My question was, based on the date of the to onnv, how do we know which node ID we need? I have no idea what that node ID means. Particularly if we need to simply point people to the right thing, we need to know which node ID to point them to. > > Or I suppose it might work to simply copy over the "latest" tarball at > > the time of the sync.

I'm just missing how we know which set of binaries to point them to. The "latest" set will only be correct for a very short time, right? > We can't have every project team wandering around in this forest. Agreed. I'd love to know where to find a map. -renee
