Thanks for the response, Rob (and I hope you're feeling better soon). I'm terrified about using new tools to deploy on Thursday, but super excited to be leaving scap behind \o/ Will there be git-deploy gurus on call or generally available during upcoming deployment windows?

I am scheduled to do a deployment (to all wikis) for MobileFrontend this Thursday afternoon:
- I presume scap/sync-blah will still work for 1.21wmf7 - can you please
confirm?
After tomorrow's deployment, assuming it goes well, it's going to be all git-deploy, all the time, and scap/sync-file will go away.
- Will I *have* to use git-deploy for 1.21wmf8 or will scap/sync-blah
still
work?
You'll need to use git-deploy.
And to reiterate my question from a few days ago re the deployment freeze next week:
- During the 'deployment freeze', in the event that someone needs to
deploy
an emergency fix, what do we do and who do we need to communicate with?
Use #wikimedia-operations. If no one is around, and it is an emergency, go ahead and make the fix, and note it in the logs.
Will scap/deploy-whatever still be functional, or will gti-deploy be the de-facto deployment method at that point?
git-deploy is going to be it.
