#745 Generating different checksum file names for different images
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by mohanboddu.

Checksum file names are identical for images and isos, for example:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/27_Beta-1.5/Labs/x86_64/images/Fedora-Labs-27_Beta-1.5-x86_64-CHECKSUM
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/27_Beta-1.5/Labs/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Labs-27_Beta-1.5-x86_64-CHECKSUM

And there is a no option under "media_checksum_base_filename" that gives different file names for different images, is it possible to add something like "disc_type" for checksum file generation as well?

It is sometimes hard for people to differentiate which checksum is for what images especially for Websites people during the release.


@mohanboddu can you perhaps explain the problem you are seeing that this would solve?

@ausil Its more for websites people, @robyduck is having issues to differentiate what checksums for what images during the release time esp given the short time we have for the release. Its not important but it will make their lives easier.

Actually we can't add disc type. There can be images with different types in the same directory and mentioned in the same checksum file. For example in CloudImages.x86_64 there are some qcow2 and some raw-xz images.

We could duplicate the directory name in the filename, but does that really help? Could the websites look at full path and not just the filename?

True, and it would not be a problem to have several images in the same checksum.

No, we pull them down and use them locally for several reasons. Actually we need to rename some of them, which is working but not ideal. It would have been nice to have them named differently, or even to have them all in the same checksum. Both would make our life easier.

Ok, makes sense. Proposed patch in #748.
