Summary

Hi guys - hopes this is the right place to post it issue
So recently I found out the https://archives.jenkins.io/plugins/ is not synced!
thought it would get fixed in a few days… but it didnt.
to be precise - the ‘latest’ link is not synced.

take a look at Index of https://archives.jenkins.io/plugins/uno-choice/ for example.
notice the latest link has not been updated since July 12 while the real latest version was released at Aug 30.

This issue is impacts all the plugins ofc.
hopes it will get fixed soon.
thanks!

Hi guys - hopes this is the right place to post it issue

Thanks for opening the issue. You are correct: this is the right place to ask!

We confirm we also see the issue and we'll work on it.

For the infra team: please note that this is a slightly different topic than #3034

See https://community.jenkins.io/t/jenkins-plugin-archive-latest-link-is-not-updated/3730 for the community forum post that discusses the use case and why I believe that @shasi24 should use a different approach that does not rely on https://archives.jenkins.io

No estimation from me of when it will be fixed. We're preparing for DevOps World and have other priorities right now. Several of those other priorities are large scale projects. I don't expect us to spend the time to resolve #2970 and this one within the next several months.

I've described the preferred solution (use the Jenkins mirror system). If you choose to not use the preferred solution, you also choose to live with this issue.

Hi @shasi24 , what is the reason for mirroring from archives.jenkins.io exactly?
We are interested in the reasons why using the get.jenkins.io system is not a fit in your case.

Other than that, @MarkEWaite explained pretty well our current priority state. If you feel like to debug the script, please help us, otherwise you'll have to wait until we have available time to fix this issue (which, don't get us wrong IS an issue) in regard of the priority of other subjects that are clearly more important than the issue here. Sorry for the inconvenience.
