Hi,
I managed to get nightly builds for ubuntu and windows running on
wikimedia labs. Both can be retrieved at
http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/ and should contain builds of latest
huggle's master from every day (builds are done usually between 0 -
1AM).
I believe this can be useful for beta testers, but keep in mind that
updates from nightly builds are not supported, so you should either
keep both stable and nightly versions, or switch from one to other
regularly. In case you decide to keep running nightly version, you
will need to update it yourself by hand.
Let me know if there were some questions.
Hi folks,
One of huggle users, MusikAnimal suggested to create a donate button
in huggle so that we could get money needed to improve support for
MacOS. While I am not generally against receiving donations :) I don't
like idea of putting any such a thing into huggle (I hate ads of any
sort in software). For that reason I created this simple page:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/donate.htm
My current goal is to collect at least $150 which is approximately a
half of a price of used Mac mini that could be used for this. I am
willing to fund the other half myself. So far we collected $50 thanks
to gift from (I guess) MusikAnimal, so we are sort of close to
reaching that goal :)
So, if you are running a Mac and you don't like how much the support
for it suck, consider sending some bucks there to make it better :P
money would be used pretty much just for a purchase of that mac box
which I would then make fully accessible to all devs in huggle team,
so that we could generate builds smoothly and test & optimize huggle
there.
If you are so rich that you use bucks to light up your cigars, you can
send there some even if you don't have a Mac :P or send them as a
donate to wikimedia project. Or to poor kids in Uganda.
Thanks!
Hello,
Huggle is an open source anti-vandalism tool for MediaWiki based
sites. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle for more.
We are in desperate need for more release managers - eg. people who
manage releases of huggle for following platforms:
* MS Windows (currently getting all stable releases and even some beta
releases) - more beta releases needed
* MacOS (currently getting some stable releases only) - stable and
beta releases needed
* Linux Ubuntu (currently getting all stable releases) - beta releases needed
* Linux Debian (currently not getting any releases) - both needed
Nightly builds for all platforms would be cool. (I can do that for
ubuntu only right now, using wikimedia labs).
Requirements:
* Heavily trusted thorough wikimedia project (release managers make
binary packages of huggle which are then installed on hundreds of
computers by our users - we need to make sure they will not contain
any viruses, malware or corrupt builds that would compromise
credentials of users).
* Intermediate knowledge of programming
* Ability to compile C++ source code for one or more of those platforms
* Ability to create standard packages for one or more of those
platforms (NSI for windows, DMG for MacOS, DEB for linux)
* Intermediate knowledge of git
If you meet those ^ and want to help us with the development of
huggle, please let us know! For beginning you would be responsible for
packaging of beta versions, so there is not much to break :) so if you
don't feel confident in any of required areas, don't worry.
NOTE: Huggle is open source project - we are all volunteers and this
is not a job offer for a paid position. So please, don't send me CV's
etc (it actually happened once to me when I sent a similar mail in
past). If you would like to help us with this task - just reply to
this thread, or send me a private mail.
Many thanks on behalf of huggle team :)
