I use the conda-build system to build some python packages I maintain. I build them on my Mac, and then upload them to anaconda.org / binstar.org, so that people can access them through the usual conda method. This all works fine.
But I've also set up anaconda.org to automatically build the linux versions. They should build automatically every time I push a change to the github repos, but I can also manually trigger a build from the website, or via the command-line interface. This also used to work flawlessly. However, for the past day or so, every time a build has triggered in any of those ways, it has immediately failed with logs like the following:
Build 32.1 Sumitted id:55c62fde59da984cebfd25f8
There are *NO* healthy workers accepting jobs for the queue build/binstar/public. Your build was not submitted
I also notice that many of the times listed on the build pages are just plain wrong. Don't know if that's related...
Google is only finding a few (old) instances of this error, for projects that have since built correctly. And questions about this on the github page and the conda mailing list haven't attracted any interest.
Is this the wrong queue? If so how do I change it? Have I run over some quota by starting too many builds? Is this service no longer available? Or just temporarily unavailable? Can I solve this in any way? Is there some better place to ask this question?
Apparently, the workers were simply taken down for maintenance, and not brought up until Monday morning. I'm a little surprised there wasn't a more informative message about this, and very surprised that google didn't turn up anyone else with this issue.
