[webkit-dev] Hosting precompiled `jsc` binaries for Linux

[Lucas Forschler]

Hi Mathias,

The Linux archives could be exposed on the build-archives page. In fact, we already store the output of the builders in S3. However, the igalia team only uploads a small file with a pointer to their internal builds. If I recall, they have limited bandwidth, and prefer to store their builds behind their firewall to save on external traffic to buildbot/s3.

If you look here <https://build.webkit.org/builders/GTK%20Linux%2064-bit%20Release%20(Build)/builds/7832> you will see a ‘transfer-to-s3’ build step.
The archive the builder creates is uploaded, here is a sample <https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/archives.webkit.org/gtk-x86_64-release/225678.zip>.

Opening that up shows the location where the archive is stored:
Built product is available here:
http://webkitgtk-release.igalia.com/built-products/release_r225678_b7832.zip

I cannot reach that link, so I would assume it’s behind the igalia firewall. If the GTK team wanted to support making these accessible, they have everything they need. They could either choose to open up their firewall so external folks could access them. Or, they could put full archives on build.webkit.org <http://build.webkit.org/> (which would be transferred to s3/webkit build archives).

Maybe someone over there would be willing to take on this work if it is in their budget. (Both time and bandwidth)
