Jenkins Changelog: weather stats spammed?

[Björn Pedersen]

Hi,

Looking at the current changelog for 2.182, I see in the status weather 42 sunshines and an enormous 18659 rainy entries, but I do not see any recent bugs that would relate to such a big number.

Has this been hit by a spam-attack?

Where are you seeing this? Do you have a url or screenshot?

Obviously :) The worst legitimate weather we ever had was still well below 100 (because then users checking the weather stop installing that release).

The changelog weather has no spam protection, and if it's obvious garbage we (well, me at least) simply ignore it. It's only a useful tool as long as no users mess with it.

If anyone's interested in improving things, the repo is at https://github.com/jenkins-infra/rating

I am wondering whether this would not be better delegated to one of the
free online voting services - they surely have the spam-protection
figured out. In fact, my brief search was a bit disappointing as many of
the services ware too powerful for the yes/no answers we are after.

Do we happen to know whether we need PHP and PostgreSQL for other things
in our infra? It can also be and interesting simplification...
