Hi folks,

I know some of you are tired of these wm-bot messages :) but I didn't send one regarding today's maintenance and now I feel sorry for that.

I did a huge maintenance today replacing the old monolithic core with new lightweight core with features bundled as dynamic modules (which makes it way easier to patch and maintain), but unfortunately, stuff didn't go so well as I expected. This resulted in about 30 minutes outage, approximately since 16:20 GMT till 17:00 GMT that means, all logs from all channels that are being publicly logged may be missing during that time.

It's no problem for me to insert these logs by hand if you need, just send me the missing part with GMT time and I will do that.

Also because stuff is still not fully recovered, you can expect some additional issues, especially in wmf wiki's RC feed relay to freenode (note WMF RC feed at irc.wikimedia.org is fine, I am talking about relay to freenode only, provided by wm-bot) and in html dumps, statistics and exports (this is provided by 2 modules, which both right now produces a lot of errors in log).

I apologize for all inconveniences caused by this unannounced maintenance, and if u don't mind, I will notify you all next time on this list, if I was about to do something large what could make the bot unavailable for longer time. (In fact I was hoping for quick replacement with no problems, but that never happens :D)

Thanks, Petr
