[Planetlab-devel] builds and releases

[Thierry Parmentelat]

Hi there

I've been having a hard time trying to build a onelab distribution based 
on the planetlab-4_0-rc1 tag
It could be that the kernel config file(s) needed for that build have 
been cvs deleted in the meanwhile: this build is based on a 2.6.12 
kernel, while the corresponding config files appear to be in the Attic 
of linux-2.6/configs

More generally, I was wondering about the update scheme that is 
currently used on the public PLC. The running code is clearly not the 
one from 4.0-rc1, and many fixes have been done, I suspect manually.

So my question is, unless you'd plan on publishing successive release 
candidates, is it safe for me to assume that rebuilding everything with 
the latest planetlab-4_0-rc<n> tag, except for new_plc_api and 
new_plc_www that would be extracted from the HEAD, gives a reasonable 
approximation of the current state of the PLC deployement ?
