Hi folks,
Do not remember anything about changes to calm stashing source packages
under $MIRROR/src/release/$PKG/... which appears to have changed
starting about 2025-11-09 with a couple (xhost, ninja) in 07/July, then
libargp, ruby-cairo, curl (source package previous release on curl
site!), and everything newer up until now?
Yeah, this is a long-overdue change as part of the groundwork for
eventually supporting arm64 packages (since I don't want to go back to
the bad old days of potentially different source packages for the same
version of an x86 and x86_64 package...)
I didn't make an announcement, as the form of the paths (relative to the
package repository root) which appear in setup.ini is considered an
implementation detail, nobody should be relying on that. We might change
it to a hash or something, one day...
At the moment this only happens for packages deployed via scallywag,
since there's still some work needed to make 'cygport upload' do the
same thing.
