Meeting Details

Attendees: peterbe, Pike, laura
Design phases
- Consider changing font from Georgia to Serif for numbers
- Consider changing padding
"New design blockers"
- style.css clean-up and refactoring (peterbe) #734194
- pushes diff view is unusable due to `td {display:block}`
- Dogfooding effort (Pike) to continue where left-off after #734194
buildbot logs
- Confusion about how we can currently use NFS. Is it only an rsync problem?!
- laura: can we delete the old log files?
  - there is no "data retention policy"
    - Pike: no easy time cut-off, potentially other owners involved
    - if we keep 1/4 (e.g. 250,000 files),
  - the "log" files are the compare-locale results
  - laura: archive old data off, ie. move away instead of deleting
  - Pike, laura: the number of files in a problem
  - Pike: ask IT how they prefer to store the files in an ideal way
  - Adding a buildbot *hook* to write to a key-value
    - one more moving part to worry about

Plan A:

Plan B:

Two types of buildbot output (both in the /compare directory):

Pike: figure out where we have reasonably recent data
Pike: figure out if we can write a buildbot hook to write files in directories of if that means upgrading buildbot and having to rely on patching
laura: talk to daniel about which key-value store to use
laura: talk to rhelmer about buildbot hooks and what it means to "patching" buildbot
peterbe: find out what the maximum number of files per directory is OK
peterbe: check if 1m files is a problem if it's spread correctly
peterbe: we're on NFS today, so is it only a rsync problem?
peterbe: check the "tar solution" with shyam, i.e. how long can that solution last?
