Re: Wrong directory in the ipfire next git repo

[Michael Tremer <michael.tremer@ipfire.org>]

Hello,

Okay I fine-tuned the caching rules slightly.

Now, it will strictly match a hash in the URL and only then cache for forever. Otherwise, we will cache for five minutes.

So this now works fine for me:

  https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=tree;f=config/rootfiles/core;h=a6e66fec1442c33f5ce1f4228aefd41788aeed7a;hb=refs/heads/next

We incorrectly cached too much for too long. It is a risk that you take :)

No, this was really helpful. I hope it is fixed now.

Looking at stale data is never fun.
