tl;dr – Yes we know, yes we’re working on it, no you don’t need to email.
I’m really sorry about this issue, but right now literally all I know is that the tool we use to automagically schedule everything that happens after you use SVN Short for "SubVersioN", it's the code management system used to maintain the plugins hosted on WordPress.org. It's similar to git. to bump your plugins is acting like a truculent child. It’s slow, it’s dragging it’s feet, and it’s taking WAY more than six hours (which is usually the outside norm for this stuff) to finish, if it does at all. It took 36 hours for one plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party, and even then some people got weird results.
And no, we don’t really know why yet.
It’s possible this is related to the new directory. It’s possible it’s from the entire .org slowdown last week or maybe it’s because we released the Beta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. and everything is slow from that. We literally don’t know.
I apologize for a series of very curt emails, but with the volume of people complaining, we had to resort to an auto-reply of, basically, we know, please be patient. If I have anything else to tell you, I will post, but right now we don’t know why and we can’t magically tell you what we don’t know, so please be patient with us.
Also no, there’s not a ticket because this is actually outside the meta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. repository. That means it’s not open source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL., the part that’s busted. The people with the access are aware and yes, I’ve pushed to escalate this. But it’s the weekend and it’s Mothers’ Day in the US, so you’re just going to have to be a little extra patient.
