yarrow status; user databases
by River Tarnell 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 while yarrow is down, i have imported user databases to zedler. to avoid overwriting existing data, each user's u_whatever from yarrow is called u_whatever_yarrow on zedler; existing u_whatever is unchanged. i've also imported the toolserver database, although the data there is slightly out of date. both these imported databases and existing databases on zedler will now be included in the nightly backups (previously, user databases on zedler were not backed up). i'll update the 'sql' alias tomorrow to give people time to prepare. yarrow is currently importing s1, and seems to be stable so far. hopefully this will be finished by tomorrow as well. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHoa1uIXd7fCuc5vIRAlLTAKCfaxyAQ3YLQeNJpzTHtO3/RsrTVwCfTWmu NTuYizrPYz/k7K0Kd10yUFw= =h1UW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

JIRA deep links. (Was: Replication of new wikipedia:crh, dsk, stq, and el Wikiversity)
by Purodha 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

thank you, River. I have another JIRA related question: I would like to have "deep links" into JIRA for bug reports or feature request creation, with some data preset, such as my tools, version, and component. They should be included in wiki code and/or in xhtml. Wiki code does not allow POST data. I tried a bit, but I found no way. Yet having John Doe to find out that they must select "Purodha's tools" etc. is quite a drawback, imho. Is there a way to get what users want? Greetings - Purodha

Replication of new wikipedia:crh, dsk, stq, and el Wikiversity.
by Purodha 25 Jan '08

thank you, DaB, for adding the replication of the new wiki data bases. Yet, they're still not fully usable, since they're not in the wiki table of the toolserver data base. I wanted to assign: https://jira.ts.wikimedia.org/browse/TS-85 https://jira.ts.wikimedia.org/browse/TS-86 to you, or let JIRA cc them to your attention, but I failed to get either done. Am I just too stupid to find the right menues/button? However, the pull-down of possible assignees was empty, so I could not even assign. Is there a cc functionallity at all in JIRA, similar to Mediazillas? Greetings - Purodha

protip: i/o and infinite loops in php

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 never do this: do { $x = file_get_contents("http://www.example.com/"); } while ($x === false); or this: while (!feof($f)) { $x .= fgets($f); } why not: because if the i/o fails, your script will run forever, using 100% cpu, doing nothing. instead, add error checking, and exit if there's a problem: if (($x = file_get_contents("http://www.example.com") === false) { echo "shit happened\n"; exit; } please make sure none of your scripts have this problem, because they cause issues for all users on the toolserver. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHlvNLIXd7fCuc5vIRAjndAJ9Z+SFfe412VLIymbCZLYnDvqHXbQCeMUjo FQOj5I2OpULhcqsVBJ0706M= =xzww -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The problem is that 1. I don't know perl and 2. I don't even have time to properly maintain my own tools. However this sounds like a nice project for the stable toolserver <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolserver/Stable_server> <http://wiki.ts.wikimedia.org/view/Stable_server> if there are at least two persons to who are willing to maintain this tool.
