Wikidata git repo already exists and is ready for use:
https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FWikidata
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/95996/ enables use of it in beta only
If there are no issues, next step is to get it into production
The only tricky part is handling localisation cache but think the above works okay. We can try it on beta and perfect it, if needed.
Cheers, Katie

Hi there,
From the October 24th Wikidata/WMF checkin, there's this note:
== October 24 ==
- deployment from single repo - ok now? Can we get a commitment to try
- this for the next deployment?
** Yes all good to go. Let's do this for the deployment on test on Oct 31st.
What is the status of this? I don't see that (single WikiData repo manually manged by the wikidata team) in our production and labs configs.
Why am I bringing this up now? Because there are planned changes to how WD will do dependencies (what are dependencies where, I guess) that will break the Beta Cluster if done without coordination. Jeroen is asking for help so he can work on these changes.
The option proposed which I'm not happy about: turn off automatic WikiData updates on Beta Cluster. If this has to happen, then we need someone on WMF's side who's confident with Beta Cluster to be around/help. Antoine is out on vacation (it is Dec 24th ;) ), but maybe Timo could help? I'm not sure, honestly.
The option I want to be done: actually implement the single/manual repo so that there aren't these breakages on Beta/Production.
I don't want to do the first option because it is a stop-gap solution that is only necessary because the right thing hasn't been done (since at least Oct 24th?).
What are the needed next steps from WikiData and WMF to finish this? I see on change from Katie (thanks Katie!): https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/95996/
- but unless I'm mistaken, that's just one piece of the puzzle.
Is the single repo created in gerrit? If not, we (WMF) should get that done ASAP (considering holidays).
Thanks all, especially Jeroen for helping clarify some things.
Greg
