Merged profile listed in the Top contributors

[Subin Sebastian]

I have merged two of my accounts into a single account. Those where
1 . https://launchpad.net/~subinsebastien karma=1 projects=none
2 . https://launchpad.net/~subinsebastien-gmail karma=2050 projects= 5 projects registered by me (in active development)
I've logged into account (1) and merged the account (2) to the first one. After that I can't see my projects on my overview page. And also, my karma=1. :-( This is so bad. When implementing a feature, at least try to test it for a while. If the account merging feature was not been present, I would have deleted one of my account safely!

Karma totals are not mergeable. Karma is recalculated daily.

The portlet must not link to deactivated/suspended/merged profiles. You should not ever see a link to merged profile in the UI since it does not have a page.

At least redirect that link (which looks like de-activated, i.e, in
gray color) in "top contributors" to my active account

Now, after three days, things looks much better. I can see my related projects on my overview page. Is this due to a bug fix? or was that the default settings? Btw, the bug is not tagged as fixed yet (Still triaged). Now, the error extends to another unexpected behavior. On the overview page of one of my project shows, both the active account and the merged (inactive) account. I would attach a screenshot (its not more than 200KiB). I'm sure my active account is shown on that page along with the dead one, because, it has got more karma points. As Curtis Hovey commented, the dead links must not be shown on any of these important places. Thanks for the response from all of you and with regards... Napster

This is really bug 190242. The link should not exist because the karma actions were transferred to your other account. The karmacache for the project was not cleared--and since the profile has no karma actions now, the update scripts do no see a reason to update the profile.

To this issue, we need a script that will clear the caches for all merged profiles. We should fix the other bug first so that this problem does not happen again.

[Curtis Hovey (sinzui)]

I have prepared SQL that will delete the vestigial cache to fix the UI. This script will also fix the historic date created (member since) lost in merging.

The Staging test run ran <1minute:
DELETE 3000
DELETE 511
UPDATE 2158

3000 merges users are cleaned up, removing them from the top contributors portlet.
511 with vestigial total karma were purged.
2158 had their member since date fixed.

Compare the contributor's portlet for
https://launchpad.net/backman and https://staging.launchpad.net/backman

Compare the member since date for
https://launchpad.net/~bruno.lambert and https://staging.launchpad.net/~bruno.lambert

Wow. This seems good. Thank you for fixing an annoying bug.
