nathanynkinkade: can you hop on a7 and help me figure out what's going on?15:15
nathanyit seems to just be hammered15:15
*** haoyu has quit IRC15:15
nkinkadenathany: I suspect it's gitweb.15:17
nkinkadeI'm on a7 right now.15:17
nathanynkinkade: how do i kill that?15:17
nkinkadeLot's of apache processes.15:18
nathany(and why do you suspect that?)15:18
nkinkadeBecause viewgit was the first thing to get an alert.15:18
nathanyah15:18
nathanymakes sense15:18
nathanycan you try and disable that?15:18
nkinkadenathany: I just disabled it, and things seem better already.15:20
nathanynkinkade: great15:20
nathanyis it a cgi?15:21
nathanylet me channel paulproteus for a second15:21
nathany"why don't we just fcgi process cycle the mofo?!"15:21
nathany(i'm kidding)15:21
nkinkadehaha15:22
nkinkadeWell, we've known that gitweb can cause these problems.15:22
nkinkadebut they haven't cropped up in a while.15:22
nathanyright15:22
nathanyiirc we switched to cgit for a second to take advantage of caching/C-based, right?15:22
nkinkadeYeah, that's right.15:22
nathanyso how does it run now? as a CGI?15:23
nkinkadeThere was some version of gitweb that has caching, or does something to be less resource intensive.15:23
nkinkadeI think it's still in development??15:23
nkinkadeYeah, it's gitweb.cgi15:23
nkinkadeI wonder if paulproteus will have some input on this now?15:23
nkinkadea7 isn't terribly busy in terms of bytes, but it's processor usage is really high all the time.15:24
nkinkadehttp://a6.creativecommons.org/cacti/graph_view.php?action=tree&tree_id=1&leaf_id=1015:24
nkinkadeI think is has to do with the fact that I disabled APC a while back because of those login problems with the wiki, but it could also be gitweb.15:25
nathanynkinkade: paulproteus is off today... I'm leaning towards leaving gitweb off for a few hours (or a day) until we can think about this a bit15:25
nathanyit's annoying but not unlivable w/o it15:25
nathanynkinkade: i love the loadaverage graph on that pge15:26
nathanypage15:26
nkinkadeI'm pretty happy with that cacti setup.15:26
nkinkadeIt's good information for us that we weren't capturing before.15:26
nathanyyeah15:27
nathanynkinkade: did you see the email re: estonian? i can't remember if we have a project started there or not...15:28
nkinkadenathany: I haven't read that that email yet.15:28
nathanyok, no hurry15:28
nkinkadenathany: Did you figure anything about about cc.engine and the 500 error with mkdeeds?15:29
nathanynkinkade: not yet, just got in and noticed a7 barfing15:30

*** johndoigiii has joined #cc15:58
nkinkadenathany: Yeah, sorry.15:58
nathanynkinkade: no problem15:58
nkinkadeLet me try re-enabling gitweb for a minute.15:58
nkinkadeJust so you know how I did it, I just commented out the ScriptAlias line in the vhost config for code.creativecommons.org, the reloaded Apache.15:59
nkinkadeNope.  As soon as I reenabled it, things got slow again.16:01
*** lotia has joined #cc16:02
*** sama has joined #cc16:24
nathanynkinkade: i think i've fixed mkdeeds (sort of) but i need to merge from turnk to production16:28
nathanyi have a meeting now, will do it immediately following16:28
nkinkadenathany: Thanks.  As soon as that works, I'll start a huge batch of Deed generation for the ones you specified.16:30
*** Bovinity has joined #cc16:34
johndoigiiinkinkade: did I catch that you were moving to south america yesterday on the call or was that my imagination?16:35
nkinkadejohndoigiii: I've got a friend who has a place in Bocas del Toro, Panama.  Since my lease was running out, I decided to just go work from there for a little while before I sign a new lease.16:41
johndoigiiioh wow, that sounds amazing16:41
nkinkadeThe place is on an island and quite remote, and very rustic, to say the least.16:42
nkinkadeBut it has Internet, and the idea is that it's a place where tech workers who work remotely could go for a month or two to work in an interesting setting.16:43
nkinkadeWe'll see how it goes.16:43
nkinkadehttp://www.cocovivo.com16:43
johndoigiiinkinkade: this is such a great idea16:53
nkinkadejohndoigiii: If you're interested, just let me know, and I can put you in touch with Ulrich, who used to live in the Bay area as well.16:55

paulproteusHeh re: fcgi gitweb16:56

nkinkadepaulproteus: Hi.16:57
nkinkadeI've totally taken over #cc to talk about things not related to CC.16:57
*** sama has quit IRC16:57
paulproteusAwesome!16:57
nkinkadeNot directly related, that is.16:57
nkinkadeBut indirectly related since a CC employee will be there for a little while.16:57
johndoigiiihaha16:58
nkinkadepaulproteus: Any new thoughts about gitweb?16:58
paulproteusWell, cgit is still a million times better than gitweb performance wise.16:58
paulproteusThe only reason we don't use is is that we're sad to break URLs.16:58
paulproteusThat and it didn't integrate properly with gitosis, right.16:58
nkinkadeDo we need this:16:58
nkinkadekernel.org (gitweb w/ caching) by John 'Warthog9' Hawley. Adds gitweb-specific caching support on top of generic gitweb. Split into many smaller modules.16:59
paulproteusBut I have a shell script hack for #2, and I don't mind breaking URLs at this rate.16:59
paulproteusgitweb is always going to be super slow.16:59
paulproteusWe can cache its output, but cgit is probably faster than gitweb + caching.16:59
*** lotia_ has joined #cc16:59
nkinkadepaulproteus: I can't remember now, but part of the reason were some segfaults that we couldn't figure out, right?16:59
paulproteusIt's just architected tragically.16:59
paulproteusnkinkade, Oh, yeah, I do remember that too. But cgit has progressed since then; maybe it just doesn't segfault like that anymore.17:00
nkinkadeMaybe it's time to revisit cgit?17:00
nkinkadeIt would be a bit of a pain in the short-term, and perhaps URLs might change, but I see it as part of the FRRS program that nathany has us on? ;-)17:00
*** lotia_ has quit IRC17:01
nkinkadeWe can't really afford to have the wiki and teamspace go down whenever someone decides to hit gitweb with a lot of request, or when a rogue spider nails it.17:01
nkinkadeIt just seems like a timebomb that's bound to go off now and then,  like it did this morning.17:02
paulproteusI agree whole-heartedly.17:02
*** lotia has quit IRC17:03
paulproteusnathany, FWIW the FCGI approach is a strategy to make web apps run for *shorter* periods of time; Python web apps generally think they can run forever and serve out requests until the end of days.17:03
paulproteusgitweb is based on the opposite principle: CGI, which is one exec() per request.17:03
nathanypaulproteus: i was being 100% facetious ;)17:04
paulproteusI know, I just thought I'd use the opportunity to be pedantic anyway.17:04
nathanypaulproteus: natch17:04

nathanyjohndoigiii: (with the jursidiction clause possibly omitted)17:06
nathanylotia: did you ever get the office to watch Helvetica?17:06
nathanywe went and saw Objectified last night17:06
johndoigiiihow was it17:06
johndoigiii?17:06
nathanyawesome17:06
nathanysame sort of feel as Helvetica, but broader in scope so more interesting interviews, etc17:07
nathanyBovinity was there as well17:07
johndoigiiiI actually just watched Helvetica the other night, i was very impressed (still have to finish the 2nd half tho)17:07
nathany:)17:07
Bovinityvery inspirational17:07
Bovinityas a designer17:07
johndoigiiioh very cool, I saw the trailer for it, was there much HCI talk?17:07
nathanyjohndoigiii: none at all17:08
Bovinitya little on information design17:09
nathanynkinkade: i just merged my mkdeeds work17:09
nathanya couple notes:17:09
nathany1) it still seems to hang... boo17:09
johndoigiiiohh okay, just curious if they went into the "non-tangible realm"17:09
nathanybut 2) it now logs progress as you go so you should be able to accurately tell when it's done17:09
lotianathany: nope, but i watched it myself17:10
nathanyand 3) it still uses a testing framework to drive things but removes a layer of indirection (no more functional testing layer)17:10
lotianathany: and it was awesome17:10
nathanylotia: cool; then you'd probably love Objectified, too17:10
Bovinitythe evening was let down by a shitty Q&A session17:10
*** jgay has joined #cc17:10
nkinkadenathany: I'll svn up and give it a go.17:10
nathanyBovinity: true; "so you're saying good design is subjective?" Duh, mofo!17:11
nkinkadenathany: So you've now experienced the fact that mkdeeds won't release the terminal?17:11
nathanynkinkade: yes :(17:11
nkinkadeNothing ctrl-z won't handle, so no biggie.17:11
nathanynkinkade: and now you should be able to tell when it's done17:11
nkinkadeI could before too because it would say Finished and OK.17:12
johndoigiiihaha its only objective if there's a big white apple on it somewhere17:12
nathanylol17:12
nathanynkinkade: i'm 99% sure things are fixed, but you should yell if the deeds look more weird than usual when you're committing17:12
nathany(really, i spot checked, but it's slightly different now so thought a second set of eyes would help)17:12
nkinkadeI'll look for big things.  Something small might escape my attention.17:13
nathanynkinkade: sounds good17:14
*** lotia has quit IRC17:15
*** lotia has joined #cc17:15
nkinkadenathany: How do you feel about reverting to cgit again?17:16
* lotia is unhappy because he can't connect to non-standard ports from irssi on his shell machien17:16
nathanynkinkade:  i suppose i'm fine with it... we left it due to segfaults?17:17
nathany(and it's static, iirc?)17:17
nkinkadenathany: I *think* that's why we left it, but can't remember now.17:18
nkinkadenathany: mkdeeds just failed again, looks like it's trying to fetch a real URL:17:18
nkinkadewebtest.AppError: Bad response: 500 Internal Server Error (not 200 OK or 3xx redirect for http://localhost/%2B%2Bvh%2B%2Bhttp%3Acreativecommons.org%3A80/%2B%2B/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/?lang=el)17:19
lotianathany: you mentioned you saw objectified?17:19
nathanynkinkade: sigh17:20
nathanylotia: yup17:20
nathanynkinkade: let me try to reproduce locally17:20
nathanynkinkade: i don't suppose you get a clearer traceback, do you?17:21
nkinkadeShould it be trying to fetch a URL like that, or is that URL specious?17:21
nathanynkinkade: i think it's made up and intercepted by the testing layer; i'm looking at it closer now17:21
nathanynkinkade: are you working on... a6?17:23
nkinkadenathany: Yeah, a6.17:23
nkinkadeI'm trying to cut-n-paste the full backtrace into pastebin.  Just having issues with cut-n-paste in screen. :-)17:24
nathany:)17:24
nathanynkinkade: what's the commandline? i can try to re-run as you on a617:25
nathany(it's working for me locally)17:25
nkinkade./bin/mkdeeds -j us -o ~/cc_svn/license.rdf/trunk/licenses/17:27
nathanynkinkade: can i kill your existing run so i can get the lock?17:28
nkinkadeTry it now.17:29
nathanynkinkade: nope, i'm going to kill the other run17:30
nkinkadeKill whatever you need to kill.17:30
nathany:)17:30
nathanynkinkade: try running it now17:33
nathanylooks like an encoding problem (again)17:33
