Hi.
After working and testing lime-build, I think we can publish again the
link to http://downloads.libre-mesh.org. I've tested (also Ilario) the
resulting images and they work fine.

Yep, lime-build is working but still I support the fact that we can't indicate two different sources for stable images: chef and downloads.
So I would keep downloads pointing to chef and I would open a new subdomain for downloading the development version of Libre-Mesh built with lime-build. For example unstable.libre-mesh.org or something similar.

I don't see any reason why Chef images would be more stable than lime-build release images. The only fact is the testing process which might be involved. However until we solve all this "mess" and we decide to go in a single direction, I accept your suggestion.

Well, you were there when this was decided...

Maybe instead of "unstable" (which is not the case because the release 15.09 should be stable) I would do "builds.libre-mesh.org" or something like that. Or maybe leave "downloads.libre-mesh.org" but announce on the web page that for the moment the safe way is to use the poor set of images provided by Chef ;)

There should be just one place where you can download the official stable release (official implies unique).
Clearly, whatever is the official stable release, downloads.libre-mesh.org has to point at it.
The problem that chef doesn't include many devices can be solved in next stable release.

Well, chef is now used for stable releases and that uses lime-build, right?
Not at all. These Images are manually compiled by Guido in some local machine. So there is no way to reproduce the same building unless you know the exact parameters Gui is using.

I hope in next Chef releases we would use the ImageBuilder generated by lime-build. So there will be an actual way to reproduce it.

Gui wrote that Chef is using that, if I got him correctly.
