#6826 Ask for cleaning the old usermode and passwd tarballs
Closed: Fixed Opened by jkucera.

Hello,

I update usermode-1.112.tar.xz and passwd-0.80.tar.bz2 so they now contain autotools generated files. Would you please remove the old ones from release folders so I could upload the updated ones?

Links to release folders:
- https://releases.pagure.org/usermode/
- https://releases.pagure.org/passwd/

Thanks


Are you sure you want to do this? Re-releasing something with the same exact version is a recipe for confusion. Can't you just do a new release with the fixes?

That said, we can move those if you really want, but there is also a CHECKSUM file generated by pagure that we will need to update. @pingou is there any way to regen that file easily?

You are right here. There is also danger of backward compatibility issues. The best solution will be probably releasing updated tarballs under new names, like passwd-0.80.autotoolized.tar.bz2.

@kevin, the simplest is just the edit this file manually to remove the corresponding entries. I'm not sure if pagure-admin allows re-generating the file, might be a good RFE :)

@jkucera ok, so shall we close this? Or do you still want us to remove the existing versions...?

@kevin yes, please close this ticket.

ok. Thanks.
