Bug Description

Canonical IS is about to decom the popcon backend as it is no longer used. In order to avoid cron-jobs that are failing, the software should be tweaked to not send any data to popcon.ubuntu.com.

As of 20-Sep-2022, there are about 5000 daily requests to the backend from 4000 unique IPs.

Options could be not to trigger the popcon-upload script, or to upload to the debian server (not sure if that is viable).

We've discussed this in Foundations, and for the small number of users affected and the complexity of the packaging changes that were landed in later series to disable this, we do not want to change popularity-contest in SRU and will just let those users locally address the errors from their cron mail.

Changed in popularity-contest (Ubuntu):

Should we do something to document this: blog posts, notify support?
