This is a note to highlight a change, which will be obvious as soon as you
try to rebase a patch: the parts of configuration that vary per-wiki, which
previously have lived in InitialiseSettings.php, have now moved to a
(mostly) static array in "VariantSettings.php".
This change allows for proper testing of variant configuration, and the
eventual migration to actual static configuration files for increased site
stability and developer confidence. See
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223602 for more details.
The migration has completed enough that VariantSettings.php has been moved
to InitialiseSettings.php, and the format is similar enough that patches
written before should rebase cleanly. Thanks for everyone's patience.
Yours,
