I don't know exactly what happened, but yes I had to force re-run the
"update_repositories" task:
hertzog@ticharich:/srv/tracker.debian.org/distro-tracker$ sudo -u qa flock -n
../data/pids/run_all_tasks.lock ./manage.py tracker_update_repositories
--force-update
It's now fixed.
Looking at the logs, I don't see any trace of the stable repositories
having been scanned/updated since the release. That somehow hints at the
fact that the code in distro-tracker/core/retrieve_data.py in
UpdateRepositoriesTask.execute_main() doesn't work as expected:
updated_sources, updated_packages = (
self.apt_cache.update_repositories(self.force_update)
)
That should return the list of Packages and Sources files that have
had changes since the last run. This is actually managed in
the AptCache.update_repositories() method in
distro_tracker/core/utils/packages.py.
Cheers,
