Bug#830871: release.debian.org: missing hints file 'freeze'
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi,
On https://release.debian.org/britney/hints/ there's a link to a
'freeze' file, but that link doesn't work (404 error).
This breaks UDD's hints importer.
Full IRC log from #debian-release:
13:31 < lucas> hi
13:31 < lucas> on https://release.debian.org/britney/hints/ there's a link to a "freeze" file
13:31 < lucas> that is missing
13:31 < lucas> could you create an empty file? alternatively, I could make UDD ignore the failure, or ignore that file, but both seem error-prone for the future
13:34 < pochu> that's a symlink, which explains the 404
14:12 < jcristau> what does udd use that for?
14:14 < lucas> jcristau: UDD fetches release team hints. they are displayed, for example, in https://udd.debian.org/bugs/?release=stretch_not_sid&merged=ign&fnewerval=7&rc=1&sortby=id&sorto=asc&chints=1&ctags=1&cdeferred=1&crttags=1#results
14:16 < jcristau> would excuses.yaml be enough for that?
14:18 < lucas> I don't think so. the goal was to detect missing hints, for example. also, it worked until recently (and still works for other hints), so I'd prefer to restore the old behaviour
14:19 < adsb> it worked until release became a separate machine from ftp-master and as a side-effect now has the web content served from static.d.o rather than directly from the release host. so symlinks to stuff outside of www/ don't work
