I thought I remember a post about them shutting it down from a few years back. Did they reopen it, or did I just fabricate that memory?

Shutting what down?
- noble_pleb 6y ago
  The debian benchmarks website. It was called benchmarkgame.alioth.com earlier if I recall correctly.

    I didn’t even realise the domain was different. Been so many years since I’ve seen this site I had no idea it was gone.

      Alioth was the name of a machine running FusionForge. Debian replaced it with "Salsa" that's running GitLab. The benchmarks game is hosted in this repository: https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame But (without intending to spread unsubstantiated rumor) it seems like it's temporarily unmaintained at the moment: - in the README.md there is some complaint about being difficult to reboot into a Linux dual-boot, maybe the measurements+website were being published manually - CI yml seems incomplete - Some very strange issues like https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/-/issues/347 https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/...

        This is really ghetto. Why does Debian allow it on their domain?

        You just described most subsites under the Debian domain.

        That issue appears to be someone who was upset with the methodology of the benchmarks and the delay in accepting his/her programs so they resorted to repeatedly changing the title of one their issues.

Who are "they" and what is "it" here?
- zucker42 6y ago
  Oops, I reworded my question and removed the antecedents. "It" is the benchmarks game and "they" are the maintainers of the benchmarks game.

I remember that too, then suddenly it reappeared. My guess it caused too many flamewars and anger at the maintainer.
