Thanks, Bob. In the meantime, web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/ has come
to the point of being totally unreachable at the time of writing (504
Gateway Time-out).

Thank you for the feedback on these anomalies. We need to spend more
time keeping an eye on that system.
* The email notification to the www-commits mailing list was not sent
for the third commit (Revision 1.13).
This is probably a cascade result of the next item.
* The diff at http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/www/
thankgnus/2025supporters.html shows "No changes" for all three commits;
Example:

Weird. It must cache this information somewhere. When I look at the
files directly I do see reasonable differences between those versions.
I think part of the above problems causing the above two problems is
that the /tmp partition has been getting filled up on that system. I
have been alerted to that a couple of times and have manually cleared
the /tmp out. It has been getting filled up with rcsdiff temporary
files such as these.
root@vcs1:/cvsdata/web/www# du -shc /tmp/rcsdiff* | tail -n3
684K /tmp/rcsdiffzw3zbK
904K /tmp/rcsdiffzyRZSa
208M total
My guess is that when things take too long and time out that the
temporary file is left behind.
* Access to those diff pages is painfully slow, sometimes it just times
out.
The system has been running a load average of 22+ rather solidly.
It's just the new normal situation these days that everything is
overwhelmed with Internet abuse.
I'll be honest and say that I have been focusing my efforts on the git
server which has been having this problem severely rather than this
server. I'll try to balance the effort and see about helping this out
out too.
Same as above seems to have happened today with these:
http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/www/prep/FTP?r1=1.992&r2=1.993
http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/www/prep/ftp.html?r1=1.1093&r2=1.1094
There must be caching in action which has failed and cached these
results. It's in the ViewVC path.
I will see what I can do.
Bob
