I would put promotions on hold until the issue is fixed. Anyone who requests a promotion should be informed of the situation and the notified when the problem is fixed. I assume all package will need to be rebuilt at that point? Does that mean porters will need to resubmit their packages for building or is there some way for SJ to handle this automatically? Whatever the details, people should be fully informed of the plan and any required next actions on their part, if any.
A further question: If SJ is currently building incorrect packages, should it be turned off until the problem is fixed?
