I think I figured it out. A server’s hard disk was filled with temp files because of a bug in software that wasn’t cleaning up on failure. I’ve deployed the fix for that software and cleaned up the temp files. There likely won’t be a backfill of data, we have the raw data but things aren’t set up to easily handle backfills. --- Donald Stufft PGP: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
