    Infrastructure

    • We moved our contributors chat to an XMPP channel. More info here.
    • We are updating our mirror infrastructure to allow more mirrors as well as to switch all downloads to HTTPS in the future read the blueprint. Nearly all mirror operators have already adopted the new configuration of their server. We have updated our documentation for hosting a mirror. Administrators of the mirror pool now have a dedicated mailing list.
    • In April, 779 ISO images were automatically built by our Jenkins instance.
    • We have continued to try out new "fundamental approaches" in our test suite to deal with robustness issues. This month we have looked closer at the "transient network issues", of which all seem to be related to using the real Tor network. Our solution ended up being to run our own miniature Tor network on the automated test suite host using the Tor project's own tool for running Tor network diagnostic tests, Chutney.
    • Our new monitoring system was deployed to production, and works very well so far. It's aim is to be able to detect within hours failures and malfunction on our services.

    More information on our work on infrastructure this month can be found in our SponsorS report for April 2016.
