Re: Build failed for weeks and weeks now.

It would be interesting to understand what has happened here. First of all, I see xvidcore-1.2.2-2.fc14 in yesterday's build report, so prior to that, it must have been in the plague-results repo. Second, I see it was built on Jan 10th, http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/build-status/job.psp?uid=8899 so what Ryan claims to have seen "for months now" (quote), simply cannot refer to this same problem. Third, build directories from the plague-results repo are not deleted immediately after pushing the packages. Certainly not with the Fedora Extras pushscripts, which wait for 48 hours before pruning pushed plague-results. I wonder why xvidcore is gone already? I also wonder whether something deleted xvidcore without rebuilding the repodata? Perhaps some tmpwatch running wild? e.g. vlc pushed on the same day is still available, http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/plague-results/fedora-14-rpmfusion_free/vlc... http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/plague-results/fedora-14-rpmfusion_free/vlc... but close to two days old and may be gone with the next push, I guess. With default metadata_expire values in Yum repo definitions, Mock builders should refresh the plague-results repodata frequently enough, so that any odd problem would only be seen for less than 2 hours. Not "months".
