snapshots.linaro.org does not render HOWTO* scripts

[vishal]

The images from daily build on snapshots doesn't show how to install, how to build from sources pages.

[Milo Casagrande (milo)]

Vishal, can you provide a link to where this is happening?
Was it happening before and it broke recently or it never worked?

[vishal (vishalbhoj)]

The releases page renders them:
http://releases.linaro.org/14.03/android/panda

But the same pages don't show up on snapshots:
http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/~linaro-android-member-ti/panda-linaro-14.03-release/lastSuccessful

[Milo Casagrande (milo)]

I cannot even ssh into snapshots to take a look if there are errors there that prevent the visualization. Need to further investigate this at the code level.

[Paul Sokolovsky (pfalcon)]

In other words, there're simply no HOWTO* in snapshots, while there're on releases.

[Paul Sokolovsky (pfalcon)]

http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/~linaro-android-member-ti/panda-linaro-13.12-release/lastSuccessful - last release with HOWTO files, they're shown as expected.

[Paul Sokolovsky (pfalcon)]

Returning back to Vishal to check howto files publishing on his side. If confirmed there not publishing is unexpected, can look further.

[Paul Sokolovsky (pfalcon)]

As investigated by Vishal, publishing pattern used for HOWTOs was stale, still assuming hierarchical artifact structure, while we moved to flattened layout some time ago. I updated patterns and migrated all jobs https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android-member-ti/panda-linaro/#build=703 and later show HOWTO tabs as expected.
