I have just tried it and works fine and helps in testing a lot. Several scripts use their own mechanism for that with "-dry" or "-test" or something; we should revise these if they are still neccessary or may be removed. (As far as I understand -simulate works with API query. What happens if somebody uses the bot without API?) -- Bináris

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Move to bugzilla

I don't like git, I don't like bugzilla, I don't like bugs ;) Anyway I strongly propose keeping things together. So we may use git/gerrit if necessay, we should use bugzilla and we should hold the documentation on _one_ place (now its mediawiki and that's the right place imho). Because people just know bugzilla as _the_ bug tracker for mediawiki (dependant) software unlike JIRA I guess. Unfortunately we haven't SUL account at bugzilla. I also oppose to split the bug tracker for trunk and rewrite branch. Let's discuss the fields: The "product" is pywikibot, the "components" might be user scripts, some libraries. But what about the version? We need the python version, the trunk/rewrite information and the current running release which are shown by version.py. At sf we have 4 trackers. I guess we don't need the patch tracker, this is eighter a solution for a bug request or a feature request. support request could we follow and maintain at the corresponding manual: talkpage at mw. regards xqt ----- Original Nachricht ---- Von: Lewis Cawte <lewiscawte(a)googlemail.com> An: Pywikipedia discussion list <pywikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Datum: 10.06.2012 00:01 Betreff: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Move to bugzilla > On 09/06/2012 22:56, Maarten Dammers wrote: > > Hi Doug and Bináris, > > > > Op 9-6-2012 18:31, Doug schreef: > >> I proposed this or Jira, which is used on toolserver, a few months > >> back and got some resistance. > > For me Jira is out because I think that will stop at some point. > >> I still support anything other than what we have but note that > >> wikimedia is transitioning to git, which I believe has its own tracker. > > Git doesn't have it's own tracker, you might be confused by Github > > (which does have it's own tracker) or you're mixing up Gerrit and > > Bugzilla.

[Pywikipedia-l] Move to bugzilla
by Maarten Dammers 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Hi everyone, At the moment we use Wikimedia infrastructure for most aspects of Pywikipedia (documentation, version management, mailman etc), but not for the bug tracker. Merlijn and I talked a bit about moving to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org . It's not that we love bugzilla, but that way we have everything in one place making it easy to work together with other people working on Wikimedia/MediaWiki related projects. We should be able to import all open bugs (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93107) with a script. What do you think? Maarten

[Pywikipedia-l] ipv6 and our bots
by Maarten Dammers 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Hi, We should probably test if everything still functions properly now ipv6 is turned on. Things that come to mind: * Lower level python connecting logic. For eaxmple the bots at the Toolserver should now edit over ipv6, you shouldn't notice any difference * Handling of anonymous users/edits. For example the anti-vandal bot of the Dutch Wikipedia doesn't understand ipv6 so treats ipv6 as logged-in users Probably more..... Maarten
