Description Tuomo Tanskanen (reporter) 2010-01-30 15:22:56 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Open
http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/cell-modem-ui/0.4-2/
2. Observe package icon, description, bugtracker

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Verify information is coming from 0.4-2 (ie. bug tracker points to
bugs.maemo.org; icon shows two devices; package description talk about Tablet
mode/Phone mode)

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Randomly information is coming from 0.3-0 version (bug tracker points to
garage; icon is red telephone; package description says Enabling/disabling
phone)

REPRODUCIBILITY:
random

OTHER COMMENTS:
Is this some Akamai caching issue, or package interface just randomly picking
if the info should come from 0.3-0 or 0.4-2. Anyways, its annoying as hell and
affects QA testing.

Confirmed by Venomrush and Emmanuele Cassioli in said URL, so its not just my
bad eyes :) I don't know their emails, so no CC.

This is negatively impacting my packages' Extras-testing experience.

I have been given the thumbs-down on a package for having an incorrect
bugtracker URL... But my bugtracker URL has been correct for several versions
already, and it worked fine for me.

Then I discovered that if you keep refreshing the page, it will alternate,
apparently randomly, between new and old package information! So there's
something seriously wrong here!

See the comments on my package instance page for more information:

This seems to be related to content cache on the server side. You probably saw
different results because one time you were logged in and one time you weren't.

Content cache is done per user and then there is the anonymous cache too. My
guess is that the anonymous cache doesn't get expired properly.

Will need to investigate this some more.

I found some issues in the importers which would cause most recent version from
extras-devel and extras, for example, to update on each run. As these importers
run 10 minutes or more apart, you could see the information change between
these intervals.

Now made the importers a bit smarter, so this should not happen anymore.

Please reopen if you still see this issue.
