Description Greg Fitzgerald 2009-07-01 03:56:50 UTC

Would really like to see latest symlinks for the current stage3 auto builds.

For example here we have.

http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/amd64/current/stage3-amd64-20090625.tar.bz2

Would be a lot easier if you could just wget stage3-amd64-latest.tar.bz2. You could do this without having to open a browser, or knowing the date of the latest build.

Same idea as the portage snapshots.

Reproducible: Always

Infra, what do you think? I'm indifferent.

Would also make docs a bit easier.

Duplicate.

Robin already explained why this won't be happening:
