• [ ] Species Fungorum Plus - Paul>"For the last few weeks I have been updating Species Fungorum and resolving some internal inconsistencies / errors in preparation for another download for COL+, partly prompted by a request from the GNI for a new download. I may have to get back to you if I forget how to ‘format’ the data, but this may be in early January. 2022-01-25 >I should be in a position to start preparing the download in the middle of May 2022-06-23 >If I do not complete the task by this time next week (last day of June; just over 500 left) I will just ‘hide’ the names from access via the web site and internally tag them as not yet fully looked for. 2022-10-26 >I have recently set a deadline for completion of all the new stuff by the end of the month and then November will be dedicated to resolving a few inconsistencies in Species Fungorum and initiating the download.

Failed release process? - for attention of @mdoering.

[mdoering]

Yes, the release has indeed failed and was aborted tonight. I would need to check, but we might be able to just rebuild the search index. But before making this a public release I would better do a new release. Reindexing the release so it will be searchable... takes an hour or 2 or more

[mdoering]

There are also no metrics. Best to do a new release I am afraid

[yroskov]

I'll kick off a new release now

[yroskov]

PREVIEW started 2022-12-16 (16.54 server time)

[mdoering]

sth still wrong. Ill restart and do another kickoff

[yroskov]

ok. In your hands now

[mdoering]

Release started 17:04

[yroskov]

@markus, seems, something gone wrong again:

[mdoering]

Yes, I had to abort once more. Please refrain from doing releases over the weekend until we know whats going on, this causes alarms and brings down the entire COL site. Bad luck for a friday night...

[yroskov]

@mdoering, is the release script healthy today? may I launch preview release?

[mdoering]

No, please wait still. I have change the code to avoid the problem but its not live yet. Hope to do that in the next hour(s)

[yroskov]

OK. Thanks!

[mdoering]

ok, its up now. Please give it a new try. All in all it might take a bit longer than before. I can improve that, but it needs a bit of coding and this version now is just a hot fix to avoid the troubles we have seen before.
