08:00 < foutrelis> wonder: when you become available, please have a look at this thread about a couple of missing x86_64 packages: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=84312
08:00 < phrik> Title: Arch Linux Forums / Where is twisted-8.2.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz? (at bbs.archlinux.org)
08:16 < _Snowman_> foutrelis: probably a mirror problem
08:16 < _Snowman_> because of all the updates
08:16 < _Snowman_> forget that
08:17 < _Snowman_> it looks like the packages are not even on the main server
08:17 < foutrelis> Yes.
08:18 < foutrelis> Is it possible that wonder doesn't have write access to the extra repo and he missed the errors during db-extra?
08:18 < _Snowman_> looks like the package was removed by cleanup script
08:19 < _Snowman_> i'll check it in a few min.
08:19 < foutrelis> _Snowman_: Thank you.
08:20 < foutrelis> Bad cleanup script! :<
08:26 < _Snowman_> should be fixed now
08:26 < _Snowman_> if the clean up script doesn't remove them again
08:26 < _Snowman_> I don't know why it did it as the svn is OK
08:40 < foutrelis> _Snowman_: Were the previous package versions moved to the cleanup directory along with the current ones, or were they left intact?
08:42 < _Snowman_> it moved the new ones instead of the old ones
08:46 < foutrelis> It could be a race condition: The cleanup script extracts the package database in a temporary location and while it's going through the list, wonder runs db-extra and moves the new packages in. The cleanup script (which is consulting the old database) then sees them and moves them to the cleanup directory.
08:47 < foutrelis> I'm looking at http://projects.archlinux.org/dbscripts.git/tree/misc-scripts/ftpdir-cleanup and it doesn't appear to lock the repo database anywhere like the db-update script does.
08:47 < phrik> Title: dbscripts.git - Official repo DB scripts (at projects.archlinux.org)
08:49 < foutrelis> And it first does one architecture and then the other. This would explain why it removed only x86_64 packages. .-.
08:53 < _Snowman_> it removed them with this message:
08:54 < _Snowman_> The following files are out of date
08:54 < _Snowman_> when a pkg is in the repo and not the db it says:
08:54 < _Snowman_>  The following files are in the repo but not the db
08:55 < _Snowman_> unless I'm missing something
08:55 < _Snowman_> it'll be hard to fix if it doen't remove the wrong one again
08:56 < _Snowman_> because we can't really reproduce it
08:56 < foutrelis> In the case of slim, the old database would contain the -4 version, while the new package would be at -5 (pkgrel).
08:56 < foutrelis> _Snowman_: does the log file have timestamps? .-.
08:56 < _Snowman_> anyway, the package are just moved in another directory
08:57 < _Snowman_> so fixing is just copying them back
08:58 < _Snowman_> the email date is: Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 6:09 PM
08:58 < _Snowman_> i'll check when wonder did the change
08:59 < foutrelis> I have a feeling it's 6:06
08:59 < _Snowman_> slim was at 6:05 PM
08:59 < _Snowman_> twisted at 5:50 PM
09:00 < _Snowman_> so the race condition makes sense
09:00 < foutrelis> If you look at the database entries, both slim and twisted were added at :06
09:01 < _Snowman_> he probably ran the db script after uploading slim
09:01 < foutrelis> If the cleanup script started processing the x86_64 arch before this time, the race condition would be very likely.
09:01 < _Snowman_> as he uploaded apache between twisted and slim
09:02 < foutrelis> Was apache moved to the cleanup directory as well?
09:06 < _Snowman_> foutrelis: no
09:07 < foutrelis> Hmmm.
09:12 < foutrelis> So, these 3 packages where added to the x86_64 database at this time (6:06), and only slim and twisted were removed.
09:13 < foutrelis> apache is near the top alphabetically, so the race theory still applies. :P
09:14 < foutrelis> If we only knew when it started processing the x86_64 arch... :\
