emulab source and compiled object trees should be in /usr/testbed on BBN rack boss

[chaos@bbn.com]

Per ticket:24:1, the canonical locations of src and obj trees for the Emulab software used to build a given rack boss node, should be:

/usr/testbed/{src,obj}/emulab-stable

On boss.instageni.gpolab.bbn.com, /usr/testbed/src/emulab-stable is 10 months old, and /usr/testbed/obj/emulab-stable does not exist:

boss,[~],15:42(0)$ ls -l /usr/testbed/src/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  53 root  wheel  2048 Mar  7  2012 emulab-devel/
drwxr-xr-x  53 root  wheel  2048 Mar  7  2012 emulab-stable/
drwxrwxr-x  54 282   wheel  3072 Mar  9  2012 testbed/

boss,[~],15:42(0)$ ls -l /usr/testbed/obj/
total 2
drwxr-xr-x  38 root  wheel  1024 Mar  9  2012 testbed/

Make sure the Emulab source used to build a given boss is located on that boss in a canonical location, and ideally that the obj tree for that compile is around somewhere too.

This is what I get:

/usr/testbed/src

Are you really on the boss you think you are?

Oh, you're kidding me. Well, as you can see from my default shell prompt, this won't be the last time i do that --- i suppose it's too late to suggest that we encode the site name in the short hostnames of boss and ops. :>(

You must be right, though --- i opened the ticket at 17:44 EST and the timestamps on the boss i quoted say 15:42 (i.e. presumably MST).

Sorry for the confusion.
