Re: gitweb broken?
This email discusses ongoing issues with the GCC web infrastructure, specifically slow connections and errors encountered with gitweb and other site sections. Mark Wielaard reports that upgrading Anubis to 1.26.1 and adding an nginx proxy in front of httpd are intended to improve performance and prioritize authenticated users, mitigating scraperbot attacks.
