Internal uploads backup working
by Brion Vibber 25 Aug '07

25 Aug '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just a heads-up: thanks to recent development fixes in rsync 3.0.0-cvs, we can actually update our internal backups of the upload fileserver on a reasonable schedule. The incremental recursion mode, new in 3.0, means that the millions of files can be copied as the directories are scanned, instead of building a file list first that's so big that rsync uses all memory on the server and dies before copying anything. More importantly, a recent fix keeps rsync from segfaulting every few hours, so it can actually get to the end. ;) Currently uploads are being replicated from amane, the main fileserver, to storage2 in the Tampa facility. We're planning to also start copying them over to some space on the disk array for the toolserver in Amsterdam, which should allow us to: a) Have a clean offsite backup b) Allow handy access to the public files for toolserver users That's currently waiting on the array to be fully set up. It might also be feasible to set up a public rsync server to allow public fetches, but we'll have to see about load and configuration issues. - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGz0hpwRnhpk1wk44RAqgwAJ45fam1Q63KVHTQRspsMPwGQNgZ6ACg1wfI /W878M/sRi0FDBZ6zL/qNzI= =Jptj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

MediaWiki 1.11.x release...?
by Evan Prodromou 25 Aug '07

25 Aug '07

So, the last word I've seen on 1.11.x is that the release would be held off until after Wikimania: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2007-July/032449.html It doesn't seem like a release branch has been made, so I'm wondering what the status is. I'm asking because I'd like to help with the release testing by rolling out the RC versions on a couple of production sites. I've been kind of conservative with MW releases in the past, and I'd like to make more of a contribution by getting ahead of the curve. Thanks, -Evan -- Evan Prodromou - evan(a)prodromou.name - http://evan.prodromou.name/

PHP 5.2.4RC3 testing
by Ilia Alshanetsky 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello! You are receiving this email because your project has been selected to take part in a new effort by the PHP QA Team to make sure that your project still works with PHP versions to-be-released. With this we hope to make sure that you are either aware of things that might break, or to make sure we don't introduce any strange regressions. With this effort we hope to build a better relationship between the PHP Team and the major projects. If you do not want to receive these heads-up emails, please reply to me personally and I will remove you from the list; but, we hope that you want to actively help us making PHP a better and more stable tool. The third release candidate of PHP 5.2.4 was just released and can be downloaded from http://downloads.php.net/ilia/. A very quick turn around this time with just 5 additional fixes, one of which is a low priority security fix, hence the RC. Overall I think we are definitely ready for the final release and I anticipate the final sometime next week. In the mean time please try this RC against your code base and let us know if you discover any problems. In case you think that other projects should also receive this kinds of emails, please let me know privately, and I will add them to the list of projects to contact. Best Regards, Ilia Alshanetsky 5.2 Release Master -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGzhU8LKekh381/CERAuWSAJ4raN1ZZE616mtJ7J9ezleoKhG8WwCfdQ3r PdwAPg9yTknKnj3mz9wRzsg= =vK7k -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

On 22/08/07, brion(a)svn.wikimedia.org <brion(a)svn.wikimedia.org> wrote: > Revert r25037 -- just removes functionality from Special:DoubleRedirects instead of fixing the paging problem I don't agree that this doesn't solve the paging problem; that's exactly what it *does* do. The removal of functionality is an unfortunate side-effect. The current behaviour caused a large number of individual queries to be executed when the results were cached. If these reports are cached because they are too expensive to run live, then running up to 1000 individual variants of such a query is surely unacceptable? Note that the report branch I did some work in (which is almost complete; minor bits remaining; could do with some review) solves this issue - when a report is cached, cached rows can be saved with additional arbitrary parameters, which we could use in, e.g. Special:DoubleRedirects to save the other titles.

SVG conversion error
by Emanuele D'Arrigo 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi everybody, I'm a bit at a loss with a "this should work" problems. I've tried to enable SVG->PNG conversion using batik but I get only an "Error creating thumbnail:" message. I've then enabled debugging and found this in the log: thumbnail failed on myhost: error -1 "" from "C:/jdk141/bin/java.exe -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar "D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MediaWiki/extensions/SVGextension/batik-1.7/batik-rasterizer.jar" -w 180 -d "D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MediaWiki/uploads/thumb/f/f8/SymbolWaitVote2.svg/180px-SymbolWaitVote2.svg.png" "D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MediaWiki/uploads/f/f8/SymbolWaitVote2.svg" 2>&1" I've run the command manually on the host machine, from a standard shell, and the conversion is executed correctly, so much that if I reload the page that should have triggered the conversion, the image correctly appears. I'm not quite sure how to debug this further. Any suggestions? Manu
