#919: hackage-mirror should handle errors more gracefully -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Hackage 2 server | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- hackage-mirror against hackage.haskell.org fails with, {{{ $ hackage-mirror http://hackage.haskell.org/ http://bgamari:xxx@localhost:8080/ 17816 packages to mirror. mirroring PlslTools-0.0.1 hackage-mirror: Failed to upload package PlslTools-0.0.1, HTTP error code 400, Bad Request http://bgamari:...@localhost:8080/package/PlslTools-0.0.1/PlslTools-0.0.1.ta... short tar trailer }}} While the source of the error is unclear, it's a sign that the error handling should be more robust. Perhaps failing packages should be skipped until it's very clear that something is horribly wrong (e.g. a heuristic like 10 packages fail in a row)? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/919 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
