For those not reading David's blog directly or via IronMan or similar RSS feed, you may have missed his recent progress reports for moving the SMTP reports transmission to HTTP submissions. Click the links below to read more:
The progress made so far has been brilliant, and has now unearth several bugs, all of which have been rapidly fixed and the new releases have often hit CPAN almost as soon as the bug has been reported!
The current state of play is very much still in the testing phase, but as more and more OSes come on board and David and the team iron out any oddities, we are moving closer and closer to final switch over.
The current CPAN Testers website still rely on the SMTP/NNTP feed, but as soon as the updater is successfully pulling reports, we'll be announcing a timeline to closedown the SMTP gateway. After this point all smoke-bots will need to updated to use the new tools and submit repoprts to the new HTTP Metabase gateway.
