Downloads of asan builds

[Hanno Böck]

Hi,

I occasionally download address sanitizer builds of chromium.
Unfortunately that is always a bit annoying and I wanted to ask if
the situation could be improved.

The chromium asan page here
https://www.chromium.org/developers/testing/addresssanitizer
contains a link to the downloads here:
https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-asan/index.html

Each directory there is itself a *huge* directory listing of all
the asan builds of the past couple of years. However it is so huge that
the browser gets really sluggish. So scrolling to the right download is
a huge pain and takes several minutes waiting for the directory listing
to build and several more minutes to wait while scrolling through it.

Downloading the directory listing and grepping through it isn't
possible either - because the directory listing is not simple html, but
some javascript that builds the directory listing with multiple
nontrivial API calls. (i tried to understand it, but it seems I can
only download the first 1000 directory entries trivially and traversing
through them would require some nontrivial scripting)

So my request: Could there be some *easy* and *fast* way to find the
latest downloads? E.g. two easy options would be:
a) Provide a link list somewhere of the latest maybe three builds of
each variant.
b) provide a separate subdirectory for each build which contains only
the latest builds (e.g. linux-release-latest) and where older versions
get deleted regularly.

I'm open for other suggestions. But, "downloading the latest asan build
of chromium" should be a trivial task. Right now it is not.

Try downloading gsutil. Then you can do something like:

gsutil ls gs://chromium-browser-asan/linux-release/asan-linux-release-*.zip

gsutil cp gs://chromium-browser-asan/linux-release/asan-linux-release-464913.zip .
