Reminder: Account expiry and migration
by Silke Meyer 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hi all! Just a little reminder: Your toolserver accounts will expire on January 6th, 2014. You can renew it with acctrenew as usual. If you had an expired account and you want to come back and collect your data: Your account has been reactivated until that date. You can login to nightshade and use the script "byebye" to collect your stuff. It will create a new directory inside your home directory called FarewellBundle. This directory contains tarballs of almost everything you had on the toolserver. The only thing you have to take care of separately is your stuff in /mnt/user-store. Please download the data you don't need on the toolserver any longer! If you don't need your account any longer you can delete it using the script "burnbridges". It will delete everything but your ~/public_html/.htaccess files in case you have a redirect to Tool Labs. For us, it would be very helpful if you deleted you data yourselves. If you find some time before January 6th, please consider migrating your tools to Tool Labs [1][2], as the toolserver will be discontinued in mid 2014. If you hit barriers that prevent you from migrating, please create bugs in Bugzilla [3]! We can meet in an IRC office hour in January to discuss them. The office hour will be announced separately at the beginning of January.

Hello, with the help of the WMF database guy I managed to have a nicely replicating copy of commons on s5 again. Now I would like to fresh up the s1 copy. I would start with it tomorrow, Thurs, 27th Mar 8 pm UTC You will not have any access to commonswiki_p in the time the import runs. It could take 3 days. Cheers Marlen/nosy

hawthorn problems: broken sge mount and crond
by Platonides 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

hawthorn is acting up a bit. The /sge mount in hawthorn: > /sge on ha-sge.esi:/global/misc/sge > remote/read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/vers=3/proto=udp/xattr/dev=4bc0006 > on Mon Mar 17 20:39:45 2014 seems broken: > ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? sge There were also errors of: > -bash: fork: Not enough space but that may be related to the 247 instances of UntagF5s.py by tim1357 (script confused due to the broken cronsub?) The 124 instances of /opt/ts/sbin/crond look fishy, too.

Is the wikidata replication out of sync?
by Kolossos 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

Hello, if I test the query [1] on Toolserver I got an empty result, on labs I got an correct answer. With other articles this query works fine. Could somebody check this? This query is part of project WIWOSM, so unfortunately I can not move to Labs in the moment, because this project need a Postgresql installation that there still not exist. Is there any idea for a workaround to get from 300.000 Wikipedia articles the Wikidata Q-Number? Greetings Tim [1] SELECT `ips_item_id` FROM `wb_items_per_site` WHERE `ips_site_id` = 'dewiki' AND `ips_site_page` = 'Bundesanstalt_für_Verwaltungsdienstleistungen';
