[9fans] Static plan9-new.iso.bz2

[Lucio De Re]

I have now four copies of plan9-new.iso.bz2 with identical size and
checksum.  That last two are dated

Can someone check

<http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/9down4e/compressed/1065018573.5r4jq3pu9798px954ad9jef7frgnyfq6/plan9-new.iso.bz2>

and see if it also has the following characteristics:

	MD5 (plan9-new.iso.bz2) = 8d26235db284b44116e140bf8e27c9b8

	-rw-r--r--  1 lucio  staff  70156273 Aug 11 01:44 plan9-new.iso.bz2

?

That would pretty old.  It is meant to be:

	# An installation CD, but built from the current snapshot of
	sources.cs.bell-labs.com last night. The ``bleeding edge''
	version. Can also be used to update your Plan 9 installation.
	Download, mount, and use replica/pull -v /dist/replica/cd.

Yup, for some reason the cron job hasn't been copying in new versions.  I'll
copy one in and then figure out why.

Sorry, these are the files we're currently serving.

achille% ls -l

--rw-rw-rw- M 5401 presotto adm 70168747 Aug 14 04:47 plan9.iso.bz2
achille%

Neither looks like yours.

I take it back.  I looked at the wrong file.  The plan9.iso.bz2 was old
but plan9-new.iso.bz2 is from last night.

I'm sure both Russ and Dave are right and I'm missing something.  It's
hell of a time consuming task to download 70Megs, so I'm hoping
someone else can confirm that the URL I posted in fact would fetch a
newer version.

One way or another I'm flummoxed.  I use wget to submit a GET request:

    <http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/9down4e2/ureg?haveread=yes&exportok=yes>

extract the URL for plan9-new.iso.bz2 from the returned document and
submit that for collection.  I forced wget to perform the fetch and
the result was disappointing.  A newer URL is the one I posted.

And, yes, I suppose a public forum is an ugly place to post these
things :-(

I just went through the web pages and got a new version.  It was the
correct one.

The current sums are:

79a9c85142d2d63e7178fb89f4ee53d5	plan9-new.iso.bz2
279d3731b0e909e98b46610320c351fc	plan9.iso.bz2

I also just used the URL you included and got the same version.

Oh, well, I may as well do the same, then.  I just wish I could
fathom where wget finds the one I keep retrieving.

Took me a while to figure it out.  You're using the wrong URL.  9down4e2 is
the link we used to try the new fossil version of the release before making it
the official one.  Perhaps we gave you the link or perhaps you got in before
I'ld changed all the new links from 9down4e2 back to 9down4e.  Either way,
if you change your initial URL to

    <http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/9down4e/ureg?haveread=yes&exportok=yes>

you'll be fine.

Also, I should disable the 9down4e2 stuff till we next do a new distribution.
