The latter option (publish immediately, symlink only after passing tests) would be simpler to implement and is probably the most plausible way to do this; after all if you don't publish them at all on cdimage then you have to invent some new way to publish them to jenkins for smoke-testing. It would require something to check in on test results every so often, but that probably isn't too hopelessly difficult. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
