When do new maps propagate to Springie hosts?

Hi,
a few days ago I uploaded a map to springfiles (
http://springfiles.com/spring/spring-ma ... elongcat-1 ) which is not yet available at the Springie autohosts (zero-k). Some other maps that were released after mine are not there yet either:
http://springfiles.com/latest/mods-maps
Is this a problem with the maps or with the update mechanism?
Thanks

128 BY 2? Thats pretty insane :D
I like how it makes the pathfinder crap itself after 64 width :D
Also how it takes a commander 30 minutes to walk from one end to the other.

@burp:
the system is a bit complex :-/
files uploaded to springfiles.com gets parsed by some daemon and then, if the archive is correct, it should appear here:
http://api.springfiles.com/?springname=EpicShoreLongcat (is that this file?)
plasma (which is used by springie) currently polls for new files, so it should appear after a while. i don't know how often it polls, but i think multiple times a day.

Yes, it's that. I suspect that the system has problems with it because the mapsize is 128x3, so the height texture size is not a multiple of 1024. On some pages in the wiki it says that the texture size has to be a multiple of 512, on others 1024. I guess 1024 is the correct answer. My new map "LongCat" is 128x4 and is correctly detected and available on the autohosts. I will just delete that "broken" one.

It is probally not the mapsize, it happens with other maps too.
It seems pretty random.

There are more "why is my map not avaiable yet"-threads like that, too lazy to find, but none had an actual answer.
Some autohosts have a limited list of playable maps (like only ffa maps etc) so on those it will never be playable there unless an ah admin adds it.
