crates.io: Git index slow to update
Affected components: crates.io
Timeline of updates
- identified
The crates.io background worker is having a bad morning, and a backlog of Git index updates has accumulated. We have given the worker some coffee and it's catching up, but index updates for newly-published crates are running about an hour behind right now. The sparse index (used by default by all modern Rust versions) is unaffected.
- resolved
The background worker has caught up, and crate publishes are now updating normally in both indexes.
Archive proof
Rewindex commits each version of an incident it captures to a daily checkpoint, chains it to the day before, and has the checkpoint timestamped by FreeTSA and DigiCert. That proves this record existed by then and has not been changed since, by anyone, Rewindex included.
How the archive is checked, and what it cannot prove.
