Disk failure. Many years of data lost. Eventually a replacement was put together, but it's not receiving (or, perhaps more precisely, displaying) all the reports being generated. And many fewer testers are sending reports. Go to TonyC's aggregator, http://perl.develop-help.com/. Note how the overwhelming majority of reports are coming from one tester: Carlos Guevara. And I believe that one consequence of the disk failure last September is that develop-help is only picking up reports transmitted via email, that is, sent to some perl mailing list. develop-help is *not* picking up reports that are being transmitted via HTTP::Tiny. test-smoke.org *is* picking up reports transmitted via HTTP::Tiny, but I don't know whether it is picking up reports transmitted via email. Let me put this concretely. I have never been able to figure out how to send reports via email, so all my reports have been transmitted via http. Up until September, my reports would appear on *both* develop-help.com and test-smoke.org. Now they *only* appear on test-smoke.org. Also, the "new" test-smoke.org is (I have been told) just a VM somewhere and is often subject to 504 timeout errors. The people who maintain that have, I believe, time constraints. Recommend consulting with TonyC first, then Tux. Thank you very much. Jim KeenanThread Previous | Thread Next
