Subject: Re: Please defer 'pushes'
Update: I'm sorry to say that aleph.pglaf.org still isn't recovered.
If it's not back by morning (Pacific time, where the system is
located), I'll remove aleph from the quorum so we can begin pushing
again. Until then, pushed files *will* go to ibiblio and hence to
www.gutenberg.org, but they will also generate hourly "pushed failure"
messages in your inbox (as long as they are in the ../push/ folder).
Sorry for this trouble. I think the colo center fixed the problem that
took all our systems off the network, and didn't realize aleph had a
separate issue. I've emailed them about it again (fourth time today,
and four phone calls).

Hi Greg,
This hasn't been fixed yet.
Today we have no covers showing in Facebook posts (although covers are
available) for the following:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/64055https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/64047https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/64048
This book has a cover and we can see the cover in Facebook today:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/64054
Many thanks,
Christine

Hi, Christine. Did this get fixed? I didn't see a response from Eric...
If it persists, I can try sending a slack message.
It would be helpful to have a specific example, so we can trace back to try
to find out what happened.
One thing that's going on is a bunch of rehabilitation of much older books -
over 50 per hour. It's possible that is causing indigestion in the workflow,
somewhere.
Thanks!
Greg

Hi,
New Project Gutenberg Books newsfeed
Some of our posts for new books aren't showing the covers, even though
they're available. Is it possible to fix this?
Many thanks,
Christine
