Hi everyone, We're currently delayed with the server deployments, so here's a brief update so that we all know where we stand:
* The software-center-agent and payments initially reached production this last Tuesday, with the last config issues sorted out on Wednesday. * mvo promptly noticed a defect on production that causes production's API calls to fail intermittently. We've been diagnosing these issues that don't happen on staging or ec2. We're currently deploying a debugging version of the package that seems to be causing the trouble to gather a bit more information about the problem. More info on RT #41172. About how serious this is, it shouldn't avoid people purchasing stuff but it makes the software-center desktop app fail when trying to check which software packages the user has already bought, so they incorrectly appear to be still available for purchase. If the user attempts to purchase again they should be redirected immediately to the completed status, so we wouldn't take their money again either. This should be sorted out in a couple of days, hopefully less. * An issue was discovered related to the PPAs htaccess files being updated once every five minutes, more info on bug #627608. Noodles is currently working on bringing this time down as much as possible for the release, mvo has added a workaround to keep polling in the desktop app until the ppa is available. * Payments beta2.1 (that's the one with the fix to allow us to switch the production RBS merchant over from U1 to the payment service, needed before making the service public) was deployed to staging, at which point we discovered a couple of small defects related to the notification forwarding. More info in bugs #628958 and #608902. We've fixed those issues and repackaged beta2.1, which is currently waiting to be redeployed to staging. * One more bit of uncertainty that hasn't proven to be working yet is the creation of Launchpad accounts on demand. That small bit of code is quite untestable until we go public, as you can't be member of the restricted set of teams unless you already have a Launchpad account to start off with. Perhaps it's not likely many people without Launchpad accounts will try purchasing during beta, but we should be sure to check this part as soon as we go public. Have a good weekend, achuni. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~buy-something Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~buy-something More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
