Description Robert Harker 2014-01-11 21:25:46 UTC

Description of problem:
Feature request:
When packstack is run a symlink from the most recent results:
  /var/tmp/packstack/packstack_run_hash_ID
To a standard name like:
  /var/tmp/packstack/Latest
should be created.

This would aid in finding the most recent results when trouble shooting a problem.

I would close this bug because it's easy to recognize which one was the latest installation of packstack due to the date and time, is not that cumbersome to identify which one is the last installed release. Anyway, if David want to do it and send the review, I would be more than pleased to follow up.

Comment 3 David Xie 2014-01-23 15:33:38 UTC

I'd like to try to add a symlink for it, please let me have a try. Thanks

Comment 4 Robert Harker 2014-01-25 19:16:55 UTC

I agree that a "ls -t" will show you the latest.  But if I recall correctly taking the assumption that the last entry in a simple "ls" does not.  I.e. The directory names are not named alpha-numerically sequentially.

Adding a symlink to the latest aids with troubleshooting.  Rather than saying:
"Do a 'ls -t' in /var/tmp/packstack.
Find the last entry.
'cd' to that directory"

You can simply say:
"'cd' to /var/tmp/packstack/latest"

Hey guys, I think I have done something. How can I submit my patch? On launchpad or?

Looks OK to me:

# ls -l /var/tmp/packstack/
total 8
drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Jan 25 15:32 20160125-153211-fwTCE6
drwx------. 4 root root 4096 Jan 25 15:32 20160125-153212-5A99YH
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   41 Jan 25 15:32 latest -> /var/tmp/packstack/20160125-153212-5A99YH
