If you wondered what the heck is HTTP code 503 in the context of our buildfarm, it's the sound of Apache dying (proxy can't talk to the server it's supposed to forward requests to). Like this:
INFO:root:Retry, exception: URL HEAD 'http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/releases/blob/pkgstats/b51ef130f4bf7b970d289fa84f9452c2/' HTTP code: 503 To work around the problem, I've started ad-hoc wsgi apps and pushed a configuration file which makes checkpkg use it. It is a temporary workaround.
