perzl.org "everything" rpm directory
I was in the process of creating pkg_perzl_redis-2.6.17.lst
and discovered there's a directory on perzl.org that stores all of the rpm files. Why is this significant? Because it makes it simpler to create pkg_perzl_xxxx.lst
files. I no longer have to figure out the directory name of a given rpm.
See all rpm files here: http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/
For example, here is a before and after of URLs:
Before
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/RPMS/gcc/libgcc-4.8.3-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
After
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/everything/RPMS/libgcc-4.8.3-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
I recommend we change our approach (including existing pkg_perzl_xxxx.lst
files) to use the "everything" directory so future contributions are simpler. I can make the changes, I just wanted your (@rangercairns) input.

reporter How do you envision future releases working? My thought was we'd continue to add features to this repo and then you'd be in charge of determining when a PTF happens.

Account Deleted Correct.
More ... I would imagine simple PTF refresh of 'all' items in directory /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/GCC (where this ends up).

No longer relevant with introduction of yum and removal of perzl from project.

Well, bit late now. We are building the PTFS for this version of the product. However, sometime in future we may be able to take advantage.
