I guess that the autoqa-results list is still causing some problems for fedora-infra.
Did they contact you, or how do you know?
Yeah, I was pinged over IRC during the fedorahosted downtime
I'm honestly not sure what the problem is with our current usage of the list - I didn't really get a clear answer to that, just that they want to understand more about our usage in case there is a better solution than what we're currently using.
Maybe they don't know about the recent change that happened on May 16. The list seems to receive only about 30 email per day. That shouldn't cause any problems. True, some of them (depcheck) might be quite large. Please ask them whether they know that we reduced the number of emails substantially 10 days ago. And if they know, what exactly the problem is.
Yeah, I said that and I'm still not sure what the problem is. I think it was mostly the 11GB mbox file that they were concerned about but I'm hoping that isn't a problem now that we're not sending all of our results to the list.
I think that your numbers are a bit off, though. Going through the emails, there are several days where < 30 emails go to that list but there seem to be just as many days where it receives 75-150 emails. Some of these emails can be almost 500kB in plain text and I imagine that is what is causing problems.
I believe that the motivation is to make sure that we're using a solution that is the best choice for us whether that's mailman or some sort of non-archiving repeater.
The old archives are going to be deleted but I've downloaded a compressed copy of the old archives in case we ever decide to parse them.
Great, thank you.
If anyone wants a copy of the file (809MB compressed), let me know.
