Lets not point fingers at specific people. Its really unhelpful and causes defensiveness. In the case of gitblit, the problem at this point has been identified (web spiders DOSing us accidentally). Its really not surprising that creating zip files ~100mb on the fly is expensive. It doesn't really seem that likely that a stack trace would help solve such a problem, and really its more a config issue on our end than a problem with gitblit. I really don't see anything wrong with what any of the wmf folks did on that bug. -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
