"Error accessing GitHub API. HTTP Code: 401" about ecosystem HOT 14 CLOSED

I'm still not sure where modules.raku.org gets all of these 401's from.

Meanwhile, I've uncovered an issue in the REA harvester of the git ecosystem, that has now been corrected. I'm not sure whether a similar issue is in the zef harvester of the git ecosystem. Please either reopen this issue if you find other problems, or more generally disagree with closing this issue now.

Some expired certificate?

There was quite some discussion on IRC. The current best guess is, that REA and modules.raku.org somehow use the API outside of it's limits. Which I don't really understand, because I would have guessed, that these two projects do simple downloads of files on GitHub and don't use the actual API directly at all. (But I might just be wrong about that.)

@JJ if you mean an expired cert on github, not likely. This problem has been around at least 2 weeks. Unlikely GH would let a problem like that linger.

Then it might be that we're becoming popular and went over the minimum rate. As Raku, we can create API tokens; we would have to use it, I guess. But not totally sure whose responsibility is that, other than whoever decides to do it first...

Seems like @lizmat should know.

I don't know anything about modules.raku.org, unfortunately.

Maybe it's time to change modules.raku.org into a redirect to raku.land?

@lizmat that won't solve the bigger problem which is that zef is loading trying to install stale modules.

Found another P6C module with the same problem: https://raku.land/github:grondilu/Digest

It's been updated to 0.7.1 but zef info reports 0.7.0.

from ecosystem.

Hmmm... it is not being picked up for some reason... will investigate tomorrow.

I think it's because of all the 401 errors: https://modules.raku.org/update.log

I think it's affecting all P6C modules. Granted, I could be out to lunch on this. That's just my best guess.

Any luck @lizmat? Curious to know.

A lot of life intervened in the past days. And am pretty tired today, so it'll be tomorrow.

zef info Digest reports correct version now. 0.7.2.
