Binariz, I will send you a working release which I use an windows and svn when I am back at home thus weekend an I try to commit a working script a bit later after some improvements. Greetings xqt ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Bináris Gesendet: 11.01.2014 11:40 An: Pywikipedia discussion list Betreff: [Pywikipedia-l] Unknown command git Hi! Az last -- as SVN is totally broken -- I downloaded the latest nightly of compat. First problem: whatever script I try to run DOS (Windows command) writes me the thing in subject. I think I have nothing to do with this stuff called git at the moment and didn't say to Windows to run anything by this name. Why I am damned with these messages and how can I prevent them? At the moment I just want to use my bot. Second problem: version.py from latest nightly says: Pywikibot: wikipedia.py (r-1 (unknown), b1e1a57, 2014/01/01, 13:01:20, OUTDATED) Release version: 1.0b1 Why? Yes, I really AM very angry and frustrated with this whole mess and I wish we have never thrown away a well working system just for nothing. Once I used to be a developer of this framework, now I have troubles with making it run at all. I feel I have to build and learn everything again from scratch what I had built and learnt for years.

I was very unhappy with git, was frustrated, angry and hated that damned shit git and finally was going to give up developing furthermore. Then I found some ways to use git/gerrit system on my windows (which is a mix of tortoisegit and git bash) and it is ok for me now. And I do not want to miss these advantages of new developers, a better code review before committing it and at least it is much more easy to merge submitted patches compared with the old patch tracker system.

I use SVN for my bots too and git for development only. I found SVN easier to use for me (with tortoiseSVN on windows OS) and to update externals and to merge local files. xqt ----- Original Nachricht ---- Von: Jan Dudík <jan.dudik(a)gmail.com> An: Pywikipedia discussion list <pywikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Datum: 11.01.2014 23:23 Betreff: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Unknown command git > I am glad I'n not the only one who have problem with damned git. > Now I use SVM again, and the only problem is when I update after many > versions, that there are conflicts between local and global files. > > JAnD

[Pywikipedia-l] Framework for blocking/unblocking
by rubin.happy 12 Jan '14

12 Jan '14

Good evening, everyone! I am working on a proxy block bot for ru.wikipedia at the moment but I don't want to invent bicycle twice :) As I remember there is no script in framework that can be used as a sufficient base for mass blocking users/IPs and checking whether they are already blocked. Maybe someone has similar workings and is ready to share them? Otherwise I will switch to my own work on it...

[Pywikipedia-l] Bugzilla threads
by Bináris 11 Jan '14

11 Jan '14

Hi, Bugzilla sends e-mails with "new" in subject when a bugreport is created, and the later mails without it. That means, threads are dissolved in my mailbox, and it is hard to keep them together. Can we somehow make Bugzilla to keep threads integrated? -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Licensing: CC vs. MIT
by Bináris 11 Jan '14

11 Jan '14

Hi, scripts in PWB are under MIT license. I have never read it, I am not so deeply interested. :-) Now, if I first publish a new script in Wikipedia, it gets under CC-whatnot-something-somenumber. May that cause a problem if I (or someone) later want to insert it into the framework? (My own scripts often have additionally a (C)(D)(E)(F)(G)(A)(H)(C) license developed by me which means nothing special but sounds well.) -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Submission about PWB
by Amir Ladsgroup 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hello all, I think it would be cool if PWB has a submission in Wikimania 2014 (not like previous years that PWB had a workshop, if we can have both it would very cool). So I want to submit for a submission but at first I want to know everyone is okay with that and anybody willing to help or participate :) more information: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions Best -- Amir
