This time it took quite long to produce the dump in the first place
(until after 8pm UTC for the gzip version, the bzip2 one didn't even
finish until Tuesday).
I presume that is due to one of the shards picking a slow database slave
which significantly slows that shard down. We should get new database
slaves soon, thus I presume that this problem is going to disappear soon.

That's alright, I was not actually worried about slow dump generation.
What I noticed was that the dumps are available online many hours before
they appear on Labs. I would like to use the central dump on labs
instead of downloading my own copy each time, but right now this delays
dump processing further. I was wondering who is providing the central
entity dumps on labs.
Cheers,
Markus

Pushing this up a bit again. The 9 May dump is not available on labs
yet. There is just the empty directory
/public/dumps/public/wikidatawiki/entities/20160509/
I really wonder why it might be taking so long.

Hi,
I noticed that there is considerable delay between the weekly Wikidata
JSON dump appearing online and the file appearing on the Labs servers
[1]. For example, the 20160502 dump is online right now, but there is
only an empty directory for this date on Labs.
In retrospect, file modification dates on Labs give the appearance that
the files have been around earlier than they seem to be, but they have
not been available at this time last week either. As it is now, it is
faster to download the dump instead of waiting for the file to show up
in the central location, but it's probably not intended that each tool
gets its own copy. For a weekly dump, half a day of delay is
significant.
Any ideas (including whom to ask)?
Cheers,
Markus
