As discussed on irc this is because all clients hammer popcon.debian.org on the same day at the same time (in their local timezone at least) once a week, so many submissions get lost. <h01ger> zobel, so adding a random sleep (in background, so that the other weekly scripts are run immediatly) and first testing this in sid before uploading to s-p-u seems like a plan to me. please discuss :) <pere> it is a good plan as I see it too. :) <zobel> at least we should modify popcon in some way it is not DDoSing gluck any more. <zobel> random sleep sounds like i plan we could go. <h01ger> zobel, can you imagine another way (short of disabling popcon)? <pere> sitesummary do random sleep, and that is a pretty effective way to solve the issue. <zobel> the other way could be to remove it from cron.weekly install it on cron.d and set exec time to random. <h01ger> right <zobel> by the maintainer script installing it <pere> I prefer to have the cron file a conffile. <pere> is there a popcon bug report about this? It would be very helpful. I've asked sysadmin for info by email, but got no reply. #413529 is related but not neccessarily the same issue. regards, Holger
