Hi all,

A few IPs were hammering http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/HackageDB today which (is probably what) caused abbot to become inaccessible.

/srv/trac/hackage/db/trac.db is 613MB, which seems rather suspicious: /srv/trac/ghc/db/trac.db is only 359MB. I wonder if it is full of spam? I'm also not able to load http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/HackageDB?action=history (it just times out).

Could someone take a look please? Or perhaps the Cabal wiki should be moved elsewhere (github?) and the trac instance disabled?

There was a spike of accesses to the hackage trac around the time that abbot became unresponsive this morning. I've disabled the trac. Thanks Ian
