Can we please disable the…

Can we please disable the ticket update module on plugins.tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/.?

Since plugins.trac is mostly unusable, many pluginPlugin 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 authors use GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ and sync over changes. Unfortunately many of these include commit messages which includes “closes #123” or “fixes #123” which ends up with many people subscribed to tickets on trac, for example:
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1 & https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2

It looks like we can simply disable the Commit Ticket Updater trac module?

Missing `Content-MD5` header for core downloads

The headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. was added 5 years ago in [dotorg5308]. [dotorg7078] added X-Accel-Redirect which may be the reason for the missing header now. To quote @dd32:

IIRC even when sent by PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. https://www.php.net/manual/en/preface.php., when it’s a X-Accel-Redirect it needs to be whitelisted in nginxNGINX NGINX is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. It started out as a web server designed for maximum performance and stability. In addition to its HTTP server capabilities, NGINX can also function as a proxy server for email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) and a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers. https://www.nginx.com/... I think we’ve enabled it and never pushed a change into nginx..

ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR on certain paged plugin searches

As reported in https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1860 W.org is responding incorrectly for certain requests, I’m unsure what the cause is and whether it’s a nginx config or not.

Here’s a cURL command to reproduce:

$ curl -v 'https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?page=2&q=plugin'
*   Trying 66.155.40.250...
* Connected to wordpress.org (127.0.0.1) port 443 (#0)
* TLS 1.2 connection using TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
* Server certificate: *.wordpress.org
* Server certificate: Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2
* Server certificate: Go Daddy Root Certificate Authority - G2
> GET /plugins/search.php?page=2&q=plugin HTTP/1.1
> Host: wordpress.org
> User-Agent: curl/7.43.0
> Accept: */*
>
* Empty reply from server
* Connection #0 to host wordpress.org left intact
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

This is lowest of the low priorities, more as a FYI. The pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party directory will hopefully retire soon and this isn’t reproducible against the new directory, most likely due to the change from query variables to rewrites. If this is a wontfix I don’t think anyone will mind.

Can’t delete forwarders in WordCamp.org cPanel

Recently we started getting errors when trying to delete forwarders. For example:

Unable to locate the forwarder “waukesha@wordcamp.org” for account “example@gmail.com” on domain “gmail.com”.

We can still add them, though.

I tried manually edited /etc/valiases/wordcamp.org, but it just got overwritten a few minutes later with same contents it had before, so it seems like it’s not the canonical source for that data.

You can use the iandunntest2 forwarder for waukesha@wordcamp.org as a test.
