I changed the default sort order from DESC to ASC on https://irclogs.wordpress.org/ Let me know if it is better or worse 🙂 It was a bit hard to follow conversations by scrolling up.

We migrated all the .org tracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. installs and svn repositories (except WP.org plugins which had been moved previously) to a new server today and upgraded from Trac 0.11 to 0.12. Unfortunately, it didn’t go so well and trac is somewhat broken (sporadic internal errors, custom queries not working, reports showing wrong data). SVNSVN Subversion, the popular version control system (VCS) by the Apache project, used by WordPress to manage changes to its codebase. is working fine. We are working on figuring out the problem and will update this post once we have more information. Sorry for the trouble.

WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ and all associated .org things were down for a bit today because of a networknetwork (versus site, blog) problem caused by our upstream provider. The outage lasted about an hour (12:05 – 13:05 UTC). Everything is back to normal now.

Over the next few days I have to migrate all of the WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ infrastructure to a new location in our Dallas datacenter. We ran out of space in the old location and the datacenter is doing some consolidation that necessitates this move. The footprint is getting pretty big (WordPress.org and associated .org stuff now runs on almost 30 servers!). There will be some downtime for various services (mailing lists, svn/tracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress., pingomatic) as individual servers move, but I will try to keep it to a minimum. Downtime should not exceed 15 minutes for any single service, and website downtime should be much shorter than that.

I just moved WP.org plugins SVNSVN Subversion, the popular version control system (VCS) by the Apache project, used by WordPress to manage changes to its codebase. and TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. to a new server. What does this mean for you?

1) If your DNS resolver doesn’t honor TTLs, you may see a “down” message for http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org and you may get an error message when committing to http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org

2) CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. WP trac shouldn’t be so slow anymore. About 80% of the resources on the server were being used by plugins core + trac. I plan on moving core WP trac to a new server soon-ish, but in the mean time, it should be much snappier.

3) The SVN server version is now 1.5 instead of 1.4 (yes, I know – still behind. May upgrade later)

4) I may have completely broken something 🙂 I don’t think I have, but if you find plugins SVN or trac completely broken, please let me know here!
