Doug!
You are a superstar my friend. I can confirm that *log.txt *is working
now, and so is the API to fetch test results. Magpie is happy again, so
that mean's Slaven's stuff is probably also working. What are the next
steps? How can we help?
I/we/the Perl community really appreciate your hard work getting CPT
mostly functional again.

Don't worry about "E-mailed test reports". I've been brainstorming how
we can do that with Magpie and the API it already has. I'll handle
that piece.
Others are welcome to step in as they can.

Yesterday sometime before 10:30am US/Central, the primary CPAN
Testers application server died: One of the main disks failed. Since
this machine is hosted by ByteMark, and since we have no contact with
them anymore, there is no chance at restoration. As of 19:00
US/Central, I was able to restore operations on a medium-sized VM I'm
renting from NetActuate[1]. It is less than half the capacity of the
bare-metal machine that died, so we're still not back to where we were.
Scott Baker has procured some VMs from the Open Source Lab at Oregon
State University[2]. I am going to scale the app to those systems as
well in hope that the three VMs will handle the load we generate. My
guess for that is "probably".
But, with ByteMark's servers now completely out, there are parts of
the site that simply do not function.
* Our CPAN/BackPAN mirror is gone. I'm working on requirements to see
how this can be fixed.
* E-mailed test reports have been offline for a while, but now is
gone until a replacement can be made.
* Large sections of the primary site are still unimplemented
If anybody wants to make a large impact for a little work on some
Mojolicious sites, we can get things working. Until then, I'm doing
what I can with what I have.
