Hello all,
I successfully converted the commons-binary-dump from the WMF to the traditional dump-format today. I will now re-import commons to everywhere we have it already, and I will start with cassia (s2+s5)
Tomorrow, Friday, after 13:00 UTC.
During the re-import the commons-copy of cassia will be inaccessible. The import will take some hours (depending on the load of the server) and to be safe I say hereby that commons on cassia will be away for 24h.
Another thing: My personal eMail-Server will receive an hardware-update starting Friday 17:00 UTC: So it could be hard to reach me by mail for a few hours. In urgent cases, try to reach Nosy.
Sincerely, DaB.
Hello all,
the import was finally done (the time-command say it needed 9348 minutes for that – that's REALLY bad). I have setup replication already, using our new replication-program (let's hope that this will reduce the number of needed re- imports). To give replication a little head start, I will wait with the view- creation until the evening (somewhen after 19 o'clock UTC). Sorry again for the delay.
Sincerely, DaB.
