I'll be more specific, Brion:
- enwiki doesn't have a valid pages-meta-history.xml.7z file now. Current dump (20070402) is still in progress (and BTW 1 item already failed, so I don't expect it to be a valid one). Previous dump (20070401) has 7 items that failed and is no valid either.
In short, now we can't access a valid complete dump for enwiki.
The rest of the languages does currently have a correct complete dump (all revisions with complete text and metadata, pages-meta-history.xml.7z).
I think there should be some previous check of the status of the current dump before deleting previous ones. For example, I need the whole dump to compute the length of every revision for the next new graphics of WikiXRay.
Congratulations for the RSS sindication service, this is a *good* improvement (and you're right, it was self-explanatory, but I wanted to ask before making wrong assumptions ;-) ). Now, my research job will be a lot easier.
Thanks. Saludos.
Felipe.

I've tried to get the latest completed dump (pages-meta-history) of dewiki, and I've found only two prior dumps available, neither of them valid.
They should be valid. Can you be more specific? (There are a couple individual file dumps which were explicitly canceled during testing.)
Older versions are now automatically deleted instead of manually and intermittently; this prevents numerous new failures due to disk space fillage.
I hope they're automatically deleted only if the following are successfull.
