| tsimonq2 | When does publisher maintenance typically start? I've heard 6 AM UK time on Sundays but nothing definitive. | 04:20 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | tsimonq2: 59 05 * * 0 /srv/launchpad.net/production/launchpad/cronscripts/publishing/cron.daily-ppa >> /srv/launchpad.net/production-logs/lp_publish/cron.ppa.log 2>&1 | 09:20 |
| cjwatson | One of our more impressively misnamed scripts | 09:21 |
| tsimonq2 | cjwatson: Aha, thanks. | 09:35 |
| tsimonq2 | cjwatson: Wait, so despite the comment in the script and the script naming, this thing is done weekly? | 09:37 |
| tsimonq2 | Hm, looks like it. | 09:37 |
| tsimonq2 | I'd be curious to hear the rationale for that. | 09:37 |
| cjwatson | tsimonq2: Presumably because running a thing daily that takes several hours is a bit rude. | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | And nobody ever got round to renaming the thing. | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | It was probably initially daily. | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | (And also it should eventually be removed once our publishing machinery is better - it's a workaround.) | 09:48 |
| tsimonq2 | Fair. | 09:54 |
| tsimonq2 | I wonder if that could be sped up if at all possible... I'd imagine the bottleneck is find so the output could be piped to a temp file and then rmdir could run at once? | 10:12 |
| tsimonq2 | (So, get the lock after find runs.) | 10:12 |
| cjwatson | I doubt that would help measurably. | 10:23 |
| cjwatson | And the reason this blocks publishing is that it would otherwise be racy. | 10:23 |
| cjwatson | The correct fix is to chase down all the places where the publisher doesn't do this sort of empty-directory cleanup for itself, I think. (Or it would become irrelevant if we ever do diskless PPAs.) | 10:24 |
