Welcome to another weekly log!
In the last week, I have finished splitting my spurious failure-handling bot into its own package, and I am nearly finished implementing retry backoff. Runaway retries have definitely been a problem in the past—the current record is 16,000 retries in one day (lol).
Also in the last week, I helped respond to a few GitLab/CI issues:
-
#23561: Apple clang 14.0.3 surfaces new default warnings; -Werror breaks Darwin builds · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab
- Triaged and documented the initial issue
- Helped troubleshoot and implement the fix
- Repaired “GitLab Pages” after a GitLab upgrade invalidated our server config
- Monitored a huge backlog of CI jobs and just made sure they weren’t any cause for alarm
In the coming week, I will be deploying my new spuriobot and continuing to add features to it.
That’s all for now, see ya!
