Change 350749 had a related patch set uploaded (by Reedy; owner: Reedy):
[operations/puppet@production] Run l10nupdate monday to thursday

Technically, shouldn't it be Tuesday-Friday? As it runs at 2am UTC?

I'm speaking in UTC. So UTC Monday 02:00 through UTC Thursday 02:00. Right? :)

Not fussed either way, just it could be interpreted as either..

Friday 2am UTC SFers would be just about. Monday it would be Sunday evening...

Idea was Sunday evening SF time is a few hours before EU Ops/RelEng wake up, so that's OK. And then stop Wednesday evening (SF) to not have l10n break on Friday morning (UTC)/Thursday evening (SF).

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2017-06-21T00:06:24Z] <mutante> tin (deployment): manually remove l10nupdate cron, let puppet re-create it after gerrit:350749. stops l10nupdate cron from running on weekends. naos didn't need an action. (T164035).

Dzahn subscribed.
