v8-canary builds missing since May 17, linux/darwin builds missing since Febrary

[joyeecheung]

Last one is AIX-only https://nodejs.org/download/v8-canary/v27.0.0-v8-canary202605175b9294c0c1/

I don't have access to release CI, so can't see what's wrong.

Also there has not been any linux/darwin builds since Feburary. Last one is https://nodejs.org/download/v8-canary/v26.0.0-v8-canary20260223fd2a99f348/

Currently the main issue is the Rust version requirement

[richardlau]

We should be getting Linux builds now (I updated Rust on the RHEL 8 release machines (all archs)).

I'm suspicious that 20260517 is the last available downloadable build as we have in staging, e.g

which suggests something is going wrong with promotion for the canary builds.

This is the cause:

dist@infra-digitalocean-ubuntu2204-x64-2:~$ /home/staging/tools/promote/promote_nightly.sh nodejs
Promoting v26.0.0-test5becfbc91f904c6bf93ca0098ce34694a1bb4aa3/node-v26.0.0-test5becfbc91f904c6bf93ca0098ce34694a1bb4aa3-win-x64.7z...

dist@infra-digitalocean-ubuntu2204-x64-2:~$

File cannot be removed because the target directory is old enough that it was made write only for the dist user:

I believe the culprit is https://ci-release.nodejs.org/job/iojs+release-mefi-pgo/4/ (cc @StefanStojanovic ) which hasn't set a datestring field so it ends up reusing the target directory and promotion breaks because it cannot overwrite the now restricted directory. To fix this I'm going to removed the staged directory for v26.0.0-test5becfbc91f904c6bf93ca0098ce34694a1bb4aa3 so that the promote script doesn't try to overwrite the existing files.

https://nodejs.org/download/v8-canary/v27.0.0-v8-canary20260521da8e25c394/ now exists with AIX and Linux builds. As @targos mentioned, the other missing platforms will need a newer version of Rust.
