Event Timeline

ArielGlenn triaged this task as Medium priority.

I believe this is a side-effect of T185454 and fixed with the commit mentioned there. Local testing with the latest deployed code does not show this issue. We won't know for sure until the next run on the 20th so I'll keep this ticket open.

This is still a problem after the Feb 20th run. There must be an additional issue, having a look.

OK, I take it back. The only ones for which the files were not updated, are wiki projects which have been deleted in the meantime. What's happening instead is that the rsyncs aren't copying over these links from the dumps generation hosts to the web server. I'll check on that.
