3 * The beforemaintrelease page needs to go on a diet, it consumes
4 too much of analysis' resources. I'll turn the production off for
5 a while. Let me know if you are a regular consumer and missing it.
6 I'm sure it can be improved but if nobody is missing it, we

11 * I just removed the beta tag from the front page. 6 years of beta
12 is enough and probably misleading.
14 2015-09-14 k <andk@cpan.org>
16 * Analysis was stalled from 2015-08-15 to 2015-08-29 and again
17 2015-08-30 to 2015-09-14 due to to upstream data reconstruction.
19 2015-05-15 k <andk@cpan.org>
21 * Analysis was stalled from 2015-05-03 to 2015-05-15 due to a
22 major reconstruction of cpantesters.
24 2014-09-21 k <andk@cpan.org>
26 * The beforemaintrelease page is now calculated daily and has both
27 all upcoming maint releases and the next stable release on the
28 radar: http://analysis.cpantesters.org/beforemaintrelease
30 2014-06-28 k <andk@cpan.org>
32 * These days I added a small ajax based layer to the /solved/
33 page, so that a status message appears below the headline when
34 something relevant to this distro happens on the server. It works
37 If a new calculation is scheduled, it is noted as "...is
38 scheduled". The message changes to "...has commenced" when the new
39 calculation has started to run. And when the new calculation has
40 finished, the text changes to a recommendation to reload the page.
42 Also the number of Passes and Fails is updated regularly. When one
43 of them increases, then a button appears that lets the user
44 schedule a new calculation.

48 * At the Perl Mongers meeting yesterday, Slaven asked for the
50 http://analysis.cpantesters.org/solved?distv=MarekPodHtml-0.49
52 It was missing because the release was 2003, i.e. older than eight
53 years. Since all the optimizations of the least six months
54 (Postgres, Redis) have resolved enough bottlenecks, I simply
55 bumped the maximum time we track releases from 8 to 16 years, and
56 there we are. 16 years ago, that was the time when
57 BJEPS/Data-Xtab-1.01.tar.gz was released (Hi Brian). We'll see
58 when we will have to double the period next time. Let me know!

62 * Today perl 5.20.0 was released and
63 http://analysis.cpantesters.org/beforemaintrelease played a small
64 underpart, as can be seen in the p5p thread around this posting:
65 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2014/05/msg215488.html
67 2014-01-05 k <andk@cpan.org>
69 * On perl5-porters I just announced the experimental new page
70 http://analysis.cpantesters.org/beforemaintrelease
72 It demonstrates a way how the cpantesters and analysis data can be
73 consumed from a different perspective, namely for focussing QA on
74 a new perl maint release.
76 * For the new table I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade
77 the jquery tablesorter. So there it is, both for the new and the
78 old pages. It made the tables uglier and they more often sort
79 badly, but at least it has the arrows in the sortable table
82 * Over the holidays analysis has got a redis based job queue that
83 allows us to conveniently run regression calculations in parallel.
86 2013-12-13 Andreas J Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
88 * Peter Karman sends an encouraging Thank You for a bugreport that
89 was driven by analysis:

96 * Today we have finished migration of all database tables from
97 sqlite to postgresql. Whatever went wrong with sqlite, we're now
98 better in terms of both speed and concurrency, allowing us to make
101 2013-11-29 Andreas J Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
103 * At the London Perl Workshop Barbie talks about the amazingly
104 improved speed of cpantesters. It looks like we could now change
105 gears on analysis too to provide fresh statistical results faster
106 than in the past. We are already a bit faster automatically now
107 but there's still work left to get on par with the speed that
108 cpantesters now support.
110 Maybe we can soon remove all the *lt-matrix* links because the
111 normal matrix is usually fresh enough.
113 2012-11-06 Andreas J Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
115 * We've been low on fresh data recently while September and
116 October are being re-scanned for missing reports. This has lead to
117 the improvised cpantesters matrix site at
118 http://217.199.168.174/cgi-bin/cpantestersmatrix.pl and analysis
119 now has a link labeled *lt-matrix* (for log.txt-matrix) on the
120 homepage to this site until cpantesters is uptodate again.

124 * Analysis has been relocated to a new server donated by
125 http://www.webfusion.com/. At this opportunity we stopped the
126 regular downloading of the sqlite database and replaced it with
127 incremental downloads with

132 * Analysis was stalled between 2011-11-11 and 2011-11-21. The
133 database exported by cpantesters was corrupted so analysis did not

138 * Analysis was stalled between 2011-08-27 and 2011-10-12 due to
139 the reconstruction of cpantesters. Today we're trying to go into
140 business again. One schema change has been identified and our code
141 adjusted accordingly. We have no other way to verify our code than
142 to simply run it. Please be sceptic, do not trust any results.
143 Verify everything before you draw conclusions.
145 2011-02-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
147 * The porting to the virtual box went smoothely and analysis has
148 taken up the full service again. Pause should now be as fast as it
149 was before the analysis project started, which was pretty fast.
151 If you're still facing a slow pause.perl.org please let me know.
152 Then we must investigate somewhere else.
154 2011-02-12 Andreas J. Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
156 * Complaints about PAUSE being slow have been voiced repeatedly.
157 Since analysis.cpantesters.org is (was) running on the same box as
158 pause.perl.org I'm starting an emergency plan for analysis.
160 The sponsors have provided a virtual box that I can use for
161 analysis for further explorations. I'm starting to port analysis
162 to the other box today.
164 If it turns out that analysis was to blame for pause slowness
165 we'll keep the two split. I'll try to keep up the service as much
168 Until further notice please expect reduced availability.

182 * Analysis has survived the first week after the rewrite for Cpan
183 Testers 2.0. It is slow and needs further work but it seems stable
184 enough to invite users to make active use of it.
186 2010-08-07 Andreas J. Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
188 * At the beginning of April analysis had to be taken down because
189 of the necessary construction works on Cpantesters 2.0. Since CT
190 2.0 seems to be coming along very nicely I'm trying to get
191 analysis running again today. It will take a few days before I can
192 say if it is working again. Please be patient, I'll make an
193 announcement on the cpan-testers-discuss mailinglist as soon as
194 I'm confident that we can stay up for a while.
196 2010-01-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
198 * Robert Spier informs me that the outage in LA has an impact on
199 the nntp feed I'm using. http://log.perl.org/ has more about it.
200 I'm seeing grossly dubious calculations on distros that were
201 released before 2009-12-12 but had the third fail after ca.
204 2010-01-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
206 * Barbie announces on cpantesters-discuss that the cpantesters
207 master database is marking apocal's reports as invalid.
209 Consequence is that at the moment analysis and cpantesters are
210 slightly out of sync because we're not tracking each other's
211 blockings. But this is only a temporary state.
213 2010-01-17 Andreas J. Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
215 * analysis starts filtering all FAIL reports from apocal out
216 because his smoker has gone wild. Currently you may see different
217 counts of FAILs on the home page than on the individual regression
218 pages due to this filtering.
