Nightly deb package lags behind git head by several days

Feedback Nightly Builds

I see that no deb updates have occurred in several days, although several new versions were tagged on the git master branch.

Checking manually the package repo:

curl https://brave-browser-apt-nightly.s3.brave.com/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | grep Version | sort -V | tail
Version: 1.25.25
Version: 1.25.28
Version: 1.25.33
Version: 1.25.39
Version: 1.25.42
Version: 1.25.46
Version: 1.26.3
Version: 1.26.6
Version: 1.26.7
Version: 1.26.11

The newest package is 1.26.11.

This is 6 versions behind github:

https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/commits/master is at 1.26.17

Could you please explain why is that? Is it by mistake, or is it the case that the git HEAD is not good enough to release a new deb package?

1.26.11 is actually the latest public version we have published. You can see the full list of builds that we make on https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases (including Linux packages), but we only publish to the update servers when the codebase is healthy on all platforms.

Right now, there is a Mac issue that is preventing us from shipping a build on that platform and so we’re waiting on that to be resolved before we publish a new Nightly.

Makes sense, thanks.
