Investigation on migrating Jira to Bugzilla - any volunteers around?
by Silke Meyer 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

Hi all! Today WMFs bug wrangler Andre Klapper visited our office and gave a Q&A session about Bugzilla. Together with Daniel Kinzler, we discussed the question if it's possible to migrate your tickets from Jira to Bugzilla. (For all tools, that would be about 1100 open tickets at the moment, open, reopened, in progress.) The last status of the discussion (according to [1]): * Tool maintainers can request their own bugzilla "component". * There doesn't seem to be a tool to migrate, so someone would have to write and test it. * Does it make sense to migrate tickets related to the toolserver environment, not to the tool itself? (Tim: Yes, because of the historical value) Andre gave me these hints for an investigation: (Don't laugh, maybe you know all this already.) * Jira has a REST API, Bugzilla doesn't. * Bugzilla has a json rpc (example: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/jsonrpc.cgi?method=Bugzilla.extensions) * It's not likely that all fields can be transferred, it might be a good idea to concentrate on the tool name and the status. * To import tickets, Andre would take a list of all users that want their tickets in Bugzilla but don't have an account. He could then create the list of account IDs that the tickets are associated with. Existing similar things the could help to find out more are below. Now, I would like to know if there is anyone among you who would like to investigate this further or has experience reports to pass along.

Tools using Google Maps and migration to Tool Labs
by Silke Meyer 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Hi again, to take up a topic that was touched on at Wikimania and now discussed on labs-l: Is it allowed to migrate tools that use Google Maps? tl;dr: Hard to tell right now. Please provide examples! Ask about your tools, give details! Here is why: Marc-Andre Pelletier and Luis Villa explained the following: The tool would have to respect both the Labs Terms of Use and the Google Maps Terms of Use. This can mean users have to read and acknowledge a disclaimer before a tool can point to Google Maps. Without concrete examples this is hard to analyse. How exactly would this be used? If you want your tool to be looked at as an example please come to labs-l and present it. Kolossos also strongly recommended to look at open source tools like OpenLayers or Leaflet as alternatives to Google Maps. Most things can be solved with open stuff nowadays.

Question to all: Non-Wikipedia-Wikimedia-Mediawiki projects for Labs' ToU
by Silke Meyer 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Dear tool maintainers! This is about the Terms of Use in Wikimedia Labs [1] and the projects that are invited to live in Labs/Tool Labs. If your tools are not explicitly related to Wikipedia-Wikimedia-Mediawiki projects, please answer this e-mail. The upcoming new version of the Terms of Use will add Openstreetmap to the (obvious) Wikipedia-Wikimedia-Mediawiki projects. I was asked if there are other free projects supported by your tools. I need your help to answer this question! If the Terms of Use tend to exclude your project because of the limitation to specific free projects, please let me know what your tool does. Thanks and cheers, Silke [1] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Labs_Terms_of_use <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Labs_Terms_of_use> -- Silke Meyer Internes IT-Management und Projektmanagement Toolserver Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. | Obentrautstr. 72 | 10963 Berlin Tel.

Pywikibot, GIT and TS
by Dr. Trigon 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all! Pywikibot finished GIT migration. Now a question has anybody ever tryed to clone and use the e.g. the pywikibot/compat repo on the TS? If I do, I get and .git folder of about 200MB which nearly fills my home quota. (this is the plain clone - nothing done to/with it yet!!) Yes I could do 'git gc' I could also switch to using SVN from github (but needs to handle all externals manually)... So... what was acutally the reason for switching to GIT? Despite the fact that I have to enter about 1 million different commands now (in SVN I needed 5 ... maybe 10 - 1 command per action, in GIT I need about 5-10 command PER action) I am dealing 75% of my time with GIT issues (that SVN did not have)... In fact I am not able to to USE or further develop the GIT repo since the migration - and I am SERIOUSLY thinking about setting up an own copy on sf.net again and work there... (then we would also have the bug-tracker back in the same place) At the moment I see just 2 drawbacks: 1.) not hosted by mediawiki (really a drawback?) 2.) no review (this is the one and only advantage of git till now, and in fact it's git-review which causes issues too) The list of advantages on the other side, is that long that I will not even start making one, think of it yourself and please give me some feedback! At least I do not see if there will ever be a point in time when GIT will start to work as well as SVN did in the past. I do also not see why I have to enter 5 commands just to make a simple commit. And that will never change...

Reimport of wikidata, s5 will be stopped
by DaB. 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Hello all, the WMF had some problems with one for their servers (db45). Unfortunately that’s the server we replicate s5 and wikidata of. Nosy fixed s5 already, but for wikidata it looks not that good – AFAIS a re-import is needed. For that reason I will stop the s5-replication WEDNESDAY, 20:00 UTC to create a dump and use Thursday to import wikidata everywhere again. You can follow the process at [1]. Sincerely, DaB. [1] https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/MNT-1336

Pywikipedia - xmlreader.py script
by Automatik Wikipedia 04 Aug '13

04 Aug '13

Hi, I would like to use the script xmlreader.py of Pywikipedia, but I have not all the informations to use it correctly. Maybe you could help me because it seems this script is used on the Toolserver. I suppose this script is the equivalent with XML of replace.py without replace but just using the search option. Does anyone know what the parameter to define the text to search on the XML dump files? If there an other important parameter except this and the parameter 'filename' (example: the 'regex' parameter of replace.py could be maybe used here to search with a regexp)? If I'm wrong on my explanations, please tell me. Thanks by advance,

MySQL problems?
by Russell Blau 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

MySQL servers seem to be unresponsive. On willow, both "mysql -h sql-s1-user" and "mysql -h sql-s1-rr" hang for extremely long times.
