Sander -- are you by any chance looking at the CVS mailing lists via the web archive? If you are noting delay in the cvs web archives, it may be due to our caching proxy server, which we're using to handle the extraordinarily large "spikes" in web-hits we're seeing each time a major press/zdnet/slashdot article about oo.org comes out. The caching proxy formerly automatically updated the cache of the website it keeps every six hours, but we have changed that time to 1 hour after we got a number of bug reports related to this issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=54 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=53 If you want to see the latest and most up-to-date mail list archives, you can hit "shift-reload" in your browser and that will force the cache to update for the particular URL you're visiting. If that URL happens to be the mhonarc archive index page of a CVS mailing list, then it will update. Alternately, you can wait up to an hour and then re-visit or re-load and the last hours updates should be visible. If you are noting delays in the actual mailing lists, please be specific as to which exact lists, and perhaps attach an example of the delayed mail message (complete w/ headers). I have not noted any delays in actual CVS mail lists, and even if there are no delays withing openoffice.org, delays and asynchrony may arise from a number of other areas: (1) if lots of people are doing commits or there's a flurry of messages on discuss, your commit messages may go into a queue and will get delivered when it's their "turn". (2) there may be a host of delays in SMTP delivery between oo.org and sander.vesik@ireland.sun.com over which we have no control. Sending an example of a complete message, complete with "delivered" headers and all the "noise" above the subject line, will help us determine the problem. Since your initial report was not specific enough to provide me with further information, and i cannot further see any problems with the cvs mail delivery, I'm going to resolve this issue as "worksforme" If you have further problems, please reopen the issue with a detailed description of the specific mail lists, urls, etc you are having problems with. (you can use the URL field above to refer to a mailing list, e.g. "mailto:cvs@<project>.oo.org"
As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved <wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
