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.
I'm confused by this -- as far as I know the message can just be ignored. In the meanwhile, I have created https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59963 as a note it should still be fixed.
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problem: version.py from latest nightly says: Pywikibot: wikipedia.py (r-1 (unknown), b1e1a57, 2014/01/01, 13:01:20, OUTDATED) Release version: 1.0b1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?
Because nightlies are missing their required 'version' file. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55129
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. Arghhhxcnmv^^ˇ#&>@&{˘°~˘^°~˘^
I'm sorry you feel this way. No-one was very happy switching to git, but we did not have much of a choice -- svn.wikimedia.org would go down, no matter what. Of all the alternatives, switching to git/gerrit was the most reasonable one. Overall, I'm unhappy with the migration, as this was frustrating for developers and users alike, but I am also happy with some things - we have seen an influx of new developers, especially during the Google Code-In, and we now have a very nice integration between the bug tracker. I'm also really happy with the pre-commit code review, which (I think) improves pywikibot overall.
