How often does ohloh update a repository?

Generally, we update every project about once a week. If it's been much longer than that for a project you are interested in, let us know and we'll investigate.

It's technically possible for us to update every project every day, and we've maintained that pace occasionally, but typically we have maintenance or big work items that can slow us down.

As we continue to scale out our server farm and we improve our architecture, we do plan to keep speeding up the updates.

hi Afrisby,

Since we launched the new features 3 weeks ago we've had a spike in traffic. This resulted in a double-whammy for us. People are entering a lot more projects into the system AND we have started running into bandwith issues with our hosting company. We hope to have this resolved next week. Sorry for the delay.

Yes, project updates pretty much run 'whenever' in a loop that we keep moving as fast as we can. The loop can take anywhere from 8 hours to several days to complete, depending on the number of large new projects coming in to the system.

The last couple of weeks have been remarkably busy for us, with a long queue of new projects coming in to the system, preventing us from running any updates at all. We have some big new servers ready to install in the next week or two (it seems like we're always saying this!) which should help us keep up with the increased traffic.

Today it looks like we've finally caught up with the new project queue, so I've restarted the update loop. If things stay relatively quiet, we should update every project this weekend.

Hi Rytis.

You're right that we did run into some problems this weekend. In response to that, I manually queued

• WikkaWiki for Dario
• 3 openmetaverse projects for AFrisby and just queued
• BOINC for you

Thanks!

Hi Jure,

I'm not sure what is going on with this project. One of the repositories was updated just 5 days ago, and we show a commit from June 7.

In any case, I've scheduled a full update of all the repositories, which should finish today. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks!

Hi Artur,

Tigase just finished updating. You don't need to do anything to improve it, we were just behind. Our new hardware should help us stay more up-to-date with most projects.

Hi ipv6guru,

Yes, sorry, we are a bit behind on updates at the moment.

We last updated Forrest 9 days ago. I'll go ahead and schedule a new update for this project, but the queue is pretty long at this point, so it might be a few more days.

Robin made a really insightful posts on project update timing here. Meanwhile, I've pushed the priority up for LivePage. Cheers!
