[19:57] <glade88> 'lo.. I've just come across an idea on brainstorm. How often are the images on the cdimage server updated for stable builds (not the daily builds)
[20:00] <cjwatson> they aren't :-)
[20:01] <cjwatson> well, perhaps you can give an example
[20:02] <glade88> This is the idea.. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16341/ -- I proposed the daily build link, but I guess they are looking for the stable release ones
[20:03] <cjwatson> updated daily> absolutely not no never nohow
[20:03] <glade88> heh
[20:03] <cjwatson> we can't expect mirrors to run any kind of custom scripts
[20:03] <cjwatson> they're usually syncing any number of different sites and anything more than rsync is a no-hoper
[20:04] <cjwatson> we update LTS releases at point releases, for which we're settling into a six-monthly rhythmb
[20:04] <cjwatson> rhythm
[20:04] <cjwatson> we don't update other stable releases
[20:04] <glade88> unless, there is something like 8.04 -> 8.04.1
[20:04] <cjwatson> this is really just a "sorry but we don't have manpower to build, QA, and release anything more"
[20:04] <cjwatson> 8.04.1 => point release
[20:04] <glade88> ah.. oops :)
[20:05] <glade88> okay, I'd definitely not close the idea.. but would try to reply accordingly.. thanks :)
[20:05] <cjwatson> if we did generate daily builds, they wouldn't be mirrored so it is not clear that this would actually help users
[20:05] <glade88> oic
[20:07] <cjwatson> it's sometimes frustrating not to be able to satisfy every idea, but this is one of those "best available compromise" kinds of things I'm afraid
[20:07] <cjwatson> the daily builds are for the development release
[20:07] <cjwatson> they aren't generally suitable for users expecting stability
[20:09] <glade88> +1
