The Linux clients no longer require individual version for each libc5
glibc2.x versions. SO if you are looking for a glibc2.0 or glibc2.1 or
libc5 client you want the Linux [x86/ELF] v2.8009.460 client.

Enjoy!

Ok, everything should be back to normal. Thanks for your patience.

I’m working on the participant search function right now. As a result of
this, it may be out of order. Please bear with me, I’ll get it running
again as fast as possible.

Thanks.

As I’m sure some of you have noticed, the ‘yesterday’ results for teams
are a bit wonky. I’m working on it and will keep you posted.

Well, statsrun was *supposed* to be delayed tonight, but I accidentally
bork the code that’s supposed to disable it. So, it’s currently running
anyway. Oh well…

Well, there’s bad news and good news…

Bad news: Statsrun will be delayed tonight

Good news: Reason for the delay is to re-tune the database engine a bit
to better cope with having only a single CPU

Better news: I’ve re-done some of the team ranking code to pull data from
the team members table instead of the huge master table where appropriate.
My initial testing indicates a *massive* speed improvement. I couldn’t
simulate a full run while stats were live, but I’m hopeful that team
ranking will take well less than an hour tonight (it’s been taking about
2 hours as of late).

Ok, backup is done. Since it’s late and I’m tired and just had to fix some
stupidity, I’m going to vent. :)

Why on earth does RH Linux think that bash is a drop-in replacement for
sh? This:

#!/bin/sh

gets you a bash shell on statsbox. You’d *think* it would get you a sh
shell, since that’s what you asked for, but no, RH Linux knows better than
you what you actually want.

To be fair, from what I understand RH isn’t the only linux that does this.

I just can’t wait for the day that Sybase releases a free version of it’s
server for FreeBSD.

Anyway, thanks for listening, and expect the statsrun to be done in about
5 hours.

Moo!
