`indexGenerator.py` doesn't seem to update `-stable` directories

Jenkins and plugins versions report

n/a

What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

n/a

Reproduction steps

1. Notice how https://get.jenkins.io/war/ and https://get.jenkins.io/war-stable/ look wildly different
2. Look at https://github.com/jenkinsci/packaging/blob/e8fa928d2fdc8058ecc8fdbdec5aae4cb2a9bead/bin/indexGenerator.py and various publish.sh scripts
3. Realize we're probably not generating -stable index pages

Expected Results

1. Regular and -stable index pages to be largely in sync
2. Weekly Java requirements on the weekly page, LTS Java requirements on the -stable index page.

Actual Results

• Information on LTS pages is outdated
• Weekly pages confusingly have both LTS and weekly Java requirements documented

Anything else?

No response

As far as I can tell, the two pages now look the same.

That's only a subset of this issue.

Weekly pages confusingly have both LTS and weekly Java requirements documented

still applies (now to both LTS and weekly).

Hi, I was reading through the history here and noticed that while some parts were addressed earlier, the concern about weekly pages documenting both LTS and weekly Java requirements still seems unresolved, before I proceed, I wanted to confirm whether the current expectation is to separate these requirements explicitly or to unify them with clearer wording.

@beri04 let's wait for jenkins-infra/helpdesk#4945 completion first.

got it @lemeurherve , thanks for the pointer
I’ll follow helpdesk#4945 and revisit this once it’s completed.
