Same for me.

build.opensuse.org doesn't load and osc doesn't work either. (Server returned an error: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request)

Cheers,

In addition, it was mentioned on some social network sites. Quite a few tweets reposted the news article on Twitter, for example. While some outages have been frustratingly low on information, I think this time we saw good spread of information and the bases were pretty well covered. However, let's at least be fair and give some benefit of the doubt by recognizing that in life there's always room for improvement. Where else do you feel it should have been posted?

Call Western Union!!! :-) Actually, in this particular case, I don't even know if this news needed to be spread more widely than it already has. Running zypper shows no problem connecting to OBS repositories. Therefore, my conclusion is that this only affects those *working* with OBS rather than anyone simply connecting to OBS to install packages. Thus is really only the build-service community that needed to be aware of this. Is that a correct assumption on my part?

The search feature is 503 so finding packages is foobar'd.

Same here for zypper searching.    I thought the search feature on the website was a separate issue as I've heard (can't remember exactly where) that this issue was raised at least several days ago.

zypper search uses rpm metadata from the download servers/mirrors, nothing to do with the web search. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Sounds that way. Is it not possible though to show something on the OBS site itself? Like when searching for SW? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

That doesn't sound unreasonable. Perhaps you can suggest specifically where and how it should be displayed. Let's ask Adrian his thoughts on whether this is possible/feasible.

Of course, any of this is purely for situations where a reaction has occurred. In situations where an outage has happened and appropriate people are "away-from-grid", we'll still be somewhat in the dark about what's going on. I guess that's unresolvable atm since we can't expect people to standby 24/7/365(or 366 in leap years). I do give Kudos to Adrian and others for reacting as quickly as possible today and in the past.

Bryen

Understandable and agreed. Basically, instead of merely showing a generic error, how about something slightly more informative? Perhaps it would be possible to link the error page to another page that lists outages. Thus, if there is an error causing 504 outage, then it would automatically pull info from that page. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
