Hey folks! Anyone paying attention to the Project Coconut box logs
might've noticed it failed when it tried to run against Alpha TC5. The
problem is to do with the download URLs. I wrote fedfind to always use
https://download.fedoraproject.org/ URLs for mirror HTTP downloads,
but this turns out not to work great for TCs/RCs because of mirror
lag, people (and Coconut) want the images immediately but mirrors
don't pick them up for a few hours after the TC/RC is cut. The wiki
pages had the same problem - the links often gave 404s for the hours
after the TC came out (I did a quick manual find-and-replace to fix
that).
So I've done a quick hack in fedfind to use
dl.fedoraproject.org URLs
for TC/RC images. I may want to make it a bit more elegant tomorrow,
but it'll do the job for now. I updated the Coconut box with that
fedfind, and wiped the JSON file so it should try again next time the
cron job runs. This will also mean the wiki pages get better URLs for
TC6+ (as long as we run the relval from a box with the latest
fedfind...)
