the links to the mini.iso do not work - workaround exists

[sudodus]

The links in the testing tracker are broken.

I think the links are OK (I tested the link for the i386 version which is OK).

-o-

I can find a current and working version at

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/

(the current date is 2015-01-30).

davmor2 told me to use the link

 http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/netboot/trusty/

That link will bring me to the same directories (trusty-updates), that I have been using, and what is more important, it helps me
understand the meaning of 'utopic-netboot'

which I think shares the kernel with what is tested right now (Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu, Kubuntu ...) for the point release 14.04.2.

Do you know who can update the link in the testing tracker, so that it points to the correct web-site for the mini.iso file? An updated link would make it easier for newcomers to find and test the mini.iso.

In which page are the links that do not work?

Apparently, somebody has created a build ...318.19 in the tracker, but this version doesn't exist in archive.ubuntu.com. However, build ...318 does [1].

Is there a technical/social reason why the build couldn't be 318 in the tracker? (I understand that it allows separation of bugs/results to different builds, but if that's desirable, isn't it weird that the download location for the different builds is the same?)

If there is a reason/need to separate the subversion builds, could
1) the VERSION placeholder potentially dismiss some part of the tracker "build", eg. a hashtag
2) the archive server also separate these builds

The links from here to the iso file do not work (I tested right now)

for i386:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/308/builds/95410/downloads

for amd64:

Ok, so the summary here is the URL's on cdimage don't have anything after 20101020ubuntu318. So 20101020ubuntu318.15 doesn't exist on cdimage. It's odd they are still publishing builds like that, with an extra dot. This isn't really something the tracker can handle.

Best bet is to ping in #ubuntu-release and see if someone who has access can edit the script that posts these builds.

Current workaround is go to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/xenial/ and grab the needed iso image from there. This enables testing to continue.
