Description

Noticed that https://tools.wmflabs.org/versions is out of date today (2018-08-24).

It's currently showing the 1.32.0-wmf.16 is on group1 and group2; however, 1.32.0-wmf.18 went live on those wikis yesterday.

This has caused a bit of confusion.

FWIW, in my local browser I see https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/wikiversions.json has an age header of 60516. When I add a parameter like ?cachebust=true I get the up-to-date-page.

I don't have arcanist set up, so here's a patch:

FWIW, you can create a new differential revision by pasting a patch in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/differential/diff/create/

I had hoped that by creating the revision with the patch it would retain author information, but it didn't: hence the created and abandoned D1106

Change 456206 had a related patch set uploaded (by Krinkle; owner: Krinkle):
[operations/puppet@production] noc: Add Cache-Control with short max-age for noc.wikimedia.org

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/456206

I've applied @Legoktm's patch. When @Krinkle's apache config lands we can revert it to avoid useless cache pollution.

It has landed.

I reverted the cache busting code. Please do reopen if the problem is seen again.
