Greetings.
I've moved over to doing the nightly live media composes in koji instead of running them in serial on one build machine.
Advantages:
* Composes will finish in ~30min or so for all spins instead of taking all day on the one compose machine.
* They are scratch builds, so koji will keep them around for 2 weeks (or less if that changes). This allows you to go back and look at older ones anytime you like, including logs and sizes.
* This is the same env that will be used to produce official live media, so we are more closely testing what we are making.
Disadvantages:
* It's now harder to tell when media are growing over time. Perhaps someone could look at some reporting here to let us just pull the size from the jobs out to graph trends?
* It's harder for us to test something like a new livecd-tools or other packages that are not yet in branched stable.
You can find a list of the builds and links to their koji task pages at:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/current.html
Or older ones at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/
Please do test things out and let me know if anyone runs into any issues that would require us to go back to the old way. ;)
Thanks,
kevin

Are we going to be able to adjust where the ks files are pulled from as we near release?

Sure.
Currently the script I use gets the ks files from whatever checkout I run it in. Ideally I'd like to get this moved up to a machine where it can run after the compose lands, but even then we should be able to adjust what branch it pulls from.

As discussed at the weekly meeting, I'm a bit worried about people not being able to find the New Hotness. It would be great if visiting any URL under http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes would redirect you to the current.html page so you can find the builds. thanks!

I've setup some quick links that should do the trick for the dirs under there... do let me know if there's any other links that are in widespread use that should be also fixed there.
