Slaven, thank you for your email. That is absolutely a fair question, with a (somewhat) complicated answer.
It hasn't been our intent from the beginning to supplant any existing infrastructure; by default, it was intended to be running in parallel, for as long as the community wanted parallel operation. However, the team is completely open to the Magpie becoming the authoritative source for test data--it's being constructed in such a way that existing URLs can be handled with a simple redirect to the same URL on the Magpie, to make that possible. I am certain that at the Toolchain Summit, now just 30 days away, the desirability of retiring the existing systems in favor of the Magpie will be a topic. I don't really want to "step on anyone's toes," as it were, but if the consensus of the testing folks present is that the Magpie should replace existing systems, we can certainly move forward in that direction. I'll be there (first timer!) and happy to participate in that discussion and show off the work so far. That said, and to answer your question, my goal is to have something working before Toolchain Summit that *can* ingest tests (including your own prolific testing!) and give us back reliable matrices similar in form to the ones that we have on matrix.cpantesters.org. Progress is going well; we've got a test set of ~200K tests, ingestion for Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase works just fine, and we're working on the front-end interface to display the data we have. To make it "production-ready" to actually take over the primary-source role would be a matter of not much longer, really--June or July, I should think. Necessary steps, IMO, would be: 1. Get all the current V1 roadmap steps accomplished 2. Ensure that testers using all extant test submission tools can use it 3. Make sure that it can "play" in the ecosystem (links to MetaCPAN, etc) 4. Deal with scalability issues (replication, multi-head operation, heftier hosting, whatever is needed) 5. Transfer existing test data from the old system 6. Transfer and redirect domains around as needed There may be other things we need to wrangle--and I'm sure that at the Summit next month, we'll uncover them.
