Go to http://hg.python.org/cpython.

All ticket links (number preceded by #), such as bpo-18567 refer to bugs in jython.

For example:
5 hours ago R David Murray Merge: bpo-18657: remove duplicate entries from Misc/ACKS.default tip
5 hours ago R David Murray bpo-18657: remove duplicate entries from Misc/ACKS.3.3

The "Merge" link refers to correct place. But "bpo-18657" goes to http://bugs.jython.org/issue18657.

It happens to *all ticket links*.

[ned-deily]

Sorry, I'm not seeing this behavior. Is it still happening for you?

[vajrasky]

Okay, it looks like it has been fixed. The format has changed as well.

Previously:
5 hours ago R David Murray Merge: bpo-18657: remove duplicate entries from Misc/ACKS.default tip
5 hours ago R David Murray bpo-18657: remove duplicate entries from Misc/ACKS.3.3

Now:
10 hours ago R David Murray Merge: bpo-18657: remove duplicate entries from Misc/ACKS. [bpo-18657] default
10 hours ago R David Murray bpo-18657: remove duplicate entries from Misc/ACKS. [bpo-18657] 3.3

Now we have separate link to ticket (inside the bracket) at the end of commit message, whereas previously it was inside the commit message.

I guess we can close this ticket as fixed.

[vajrasky]

Wait, something weird is happening in CPython commits log website, http://hg.python.org/cpython .

These are the latest four commits.

age author description
45 hours ago Jason R. Coombs bpo-18532: Added tests and documentation to formally specify the .name attribute on hashlib objects.default tip
105 minutes ago Raymond Hettinger Silence compiler warning for unused declaration.2.7
11 hours ago R David Murray Merge: bpo-18657: remove duplicate entries from Misc/ACKS. [bpo-18657]
11 hours ago R David Murray bpo-18657: remove duplicate entries from Misc/ACKS. [bpo-18657]3.3

The "age" column is screwed up. 11 hours ago goes to 105 minutes ago then goes back to 45 hours ago.

[ezio-melotti]

This is a separate issue though, isn't it?
Have you tried to ctrl+f5 the page?

(Also this is probably something that should be reported to the Mercurial bug tracker, since -- unlike the issue links -- is not something we modified.)

[ned-deily]

While it looks unusual, the commit list is fine. It reflects what you see currently in a "hg log". What happened is that someone imported an older local change set or something similar. It's not always easy to tell from the log.
