Note to admins: 'rcbot.pl' script it's _not_ out of control - this is antivandal bot which listens to recent changes IRC channel. It should never exit (but it does nothing between two edits, of course). Please do not kill this process. -- Edward Chernenko <edwardspec(a)gmail.com>

If you get all articles that have the template on it, you will only need the text from those pages. Getting the text then regexping it on hemlock (with a low priority) probably is the best way to do it. You will need the text tables for it though, and they are not yet available. > Question 4. > After the full-text search I will put the results in the database. > Therefore I need also a Perl-example.

Wait until the text tables are there ;) - a FULLTEXT index of the text table would be useful, but probably very space-consuming. However, if zedler is overloaded by all the database requests, it could be an idea to do xml-fulltext-searches on hemlock (on low priority). Just my $0.02 -valhallasw

More disc-space
by DaB. 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hello all, river has move some disc-space from zedler to hemlock. It can be find at /mnt/archiv/ and is writeable by all users. I had created a directory "dumps" in it for wikimedia-dumps. Because "home" is a little bit small, you should move all big files (like dumps) to /mnt/archiv/. Please note, that the files there have no backup. Sincerly, DaB. -- PGP: 2D3EE2D42B255885

Five questions
by Stefan Kühn 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hi, I work since two weeks on the tool server. In my directory home I have extract the English and German dump. So that I can scan the dumps for geocoordinates. At the moment I have a Perl script for this work. The results is the KML for Google Earth and a CSV for many other services. Now I see the most of you use the MySQL-database with all the nice tables. I have no experience with MySQL, but I know SQL. Question 1: Can I use Perl to get some data from the database? (I work since three weeks with Perl and CGI, so I need a small example.) Question 2: Can I use a SQL-Question with perl? For example: I want the category's of page "xy" in DE. Question 3. When I scan all articles from the Dump (XML-File) for coordinates I need with Perl in EN 45 minutes and in DE 15 minutes. If I use in the future hopefully the MySQL-database I think this process will be to long for the database. So that all other services have a problem. Is this right? Or is the power of the database strong enough for this full-text search? Question 4. After the full-text search I will put the results in the database. Therefore I need also a Perl-example. Please help me. Question 5. If I can not do the full-text search at the MySQL-database I think it would be very helpful to make one directory for all users with all dumps (XML-files). So that every user can use this dumps. At the moment I have the current dump (DE+EN) in my home-directory, but I am sure that other users also have dumps. What did you think about this?

Absence
by tds＠cloudstormtech.com 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hello, I am currently in a location where it is difficult, if not impossible, to access any SSH services or to connect to any IRC server. In my absence, I am requesting that someone reboot TDSBot (as I expect the move to hemlock disrupted TDSBot's process.) In order to boot TDSBot, just execute '/home/tim/python/irc/ignition.py' I will advise when I am once again able to use internet services. Thanks, Tim Abdulla
