Cached pages on wordpress.org after plugin update

[Simon Blackbourn]

Not sure where's the best place to send this so thought I'd try here first.

I updated http://wordpress.org/plugins/intercom-for-wordpress/ earlier
today to version 0.7 which involved some important changes to the
description, FAQ and changelog in the readme.txt file.

The download link on the description page is correctly showing 0.7, but the
description text has not updated. The other pages are all showing a
download link for version 0.6 and the text has not updated on any of them.

I've checked the Subversion repo and the readme.txt file has definitely
updated, so it looks like a caching issue, so I'm wondering

a) how long does it usually take for the cached pages to refresh?

b) would it be possible to set something somewhere so that when a plugin is
updated, all pages for that plugin are automatically flushed from the cache?

Cheers
Simon

Looks okay to me. Are you sure your browser isn't caching the page?

I'm getting the same thing here with a plugin I just published:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/whistles/

It's still showing the original description I wrote when I first
submitted the plugin. I figured I'd wait it out, but I saw this email
subject and thought I'd give you another plugin to look at. :)

I cleared my browser's cache as well as tried a couple of other browsers.

I've seen similar things in the forums, where I have to flush cache and
refresh a ton to get a reply to show up :/

yep, i had that too - one of my support forum replies (for the same plugin)
completely disappeared after posting, then re-appeared after a few minutes.

I released the first version of a plugin at about 19:30 UTC on Saturday, and the pages still aren't properly updated.

P.S. Yes, I checked this in multiple browsers, it is a caching issue with wp.org.

You're missing a readme.txt in trunk (yours is in /src/ which I don't believe is supported). Updating that triggers a rebuild of the plugin pages based on the stable tag specified (tagging itself does not trigger an update).

See first 2 FAQs here:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/about/faq/

OK, thanks. I'll try that.

FYI - The best way to report issues with the plugin repo is by emailing ***@wordpress.org.

Most of the folks who respond to that are probably also on this list, but that's the proper channel (and I've received fairly prompt replies in the past).

Thanks - I was only replying here because I knew this recent discussion had taken place.

browser cache and refreshed several times, as well as trying on my phone -
all were showing the old version.

I'm still not able to see the correct readme.txt data on that plugin
page. I uploaded about 6 hours or so ago.
