Bug #55861 [Opn->Wfx]: snaps.php.net links to the wrong snapshot if you look at the right time

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55861&edit=1 ID: 55861 Updated by: danbrown@php.net Reported by: dk at uw dot no Summary: snaps.php.net links to the wrong snapshot if you look at the right time -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: A similar issue could potentially arise if a user is in the middle of downloading the snapshot as the new ones are released by the system. For example, trying to download php5.4-latest.tar.xz could potentially be broken during the download if its symlink is replaced and linked to a newer snap. Though inconvenient, as you said, it's very, very low-impact, and not something that justifies redeveloping the system to prevent. Thank you for your report, though. And if you continue to have timing like that, you really need to play the lottery. ;-P Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-10-06 14:47:06] dk at uw dot no Description: ------------ I saw this just now, while browsing for the latest code snapshot. If you look at http://snaps.php.net/ while the tarballs are being generated, you may be (un)lucky enough to be presented with a 'half updated' view of reality. In the case below, apparently just the .bz2 had yet been regenerated, and its link had been updated (...1430.tar.bz2), but the .gz was still the old link (...1230.tar.gz). Nevertheless it was claimed that both was built on the latest date. Granted, this is extremely low impact, and it fixes itself after a minute or so when the .gz version is fully generated as well.
