This is true, and I can not explain it. > The number of machine running unstable is so small that it cannot do > a difference. I believe this is false. As almost all machines in a given time zone will try to report at the same time (if they got a correct clock), I believe the 5000 machines reported to run unstable is enough to affect the result. As more and more unstable machines was upgraded and stopped competing for the small time slot used by the other popcon.debian.org submitters, the number of submissions grew. And > If a DOS did occur, it would take down every web service hosted onnn > gluck, not just popcon and we would probably hear from it. Actually, only services being contacted at the same time as popcon results are submitted, sundays 06:47 for all time zones. So I believe it is unlikely we would hear about it, as the DOS situation would be over very soon, and thus a reload would hide the issue for those seeing it while accessing other web pages on gluck.debian.org. As can be seen from <URL: http://popcon.debian.org/ >, the submission growth has stopped. After sunday, we should see if the number of submissions have gone down since I uploaded the package without the random submission time patch to unstable. So far the increase since 2008-03-18 has been 794 submissions. The number of stable submissions have dropped by 13, and the increase is mostly with installations of testing. I'm very curious what these numbers will be on sunday, after the popcon.debian.org web pages are updated that day. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
