+1 to Sig's answer. Old builds are great, and we should (and do) keep them around, but they do not need to be on the CI server. As Sig said, the old versions don't change, so CI gets pretty boring.
The old versions are available from an archive (https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1299). See the "file server" link on the downloads page. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Igor Stasenko [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 6:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Silly Tweet On 30 June 2011 00:12, Stephan Eggermont <[email protected]> wrote: > Igor wrote: >>On 29 June 2011 15:56, Schwab,Wilhelm K <bschwab at anest.ufl.edu wrote: >>> Having an archive seems sufficient - those who need old versions for use or >>> research can get them; they don't have to be clogging up the build server. >>> Sounds great. >> >>Indeed.

Its not about that we don't want users to download older versions (they are available for download at pharo official site). No. Builds purpose is to follow a development process: new update -> new build. Now since we're done with 1.2 (and even almost done with 1.3) there will be no new versions for these lines, since all development is now in 1.4. So, there is no reason to keep jobs for 1.2 and then 1.3 on build server, because there will be no activity around it. > That's fine. > > Stephan Eggermont -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
