I've noticed that the enwiki download dumps always fail when it comes to all pages with complete edit history... there hasn't been a successful release of that in almost a year it seems. Is there any reason this happens? Is there a way to fix it?

Thanks, FV

There was a discussion about it earlier ("Why is difficult to have a non-corrupt dump - other ways of getting the information"). The general problem was that a temporary error (e.g. database connection problem) would cause the whole process to fail. As far as I understand, some recent changes, made by brion, in the dump creation scripts would make it possible for the script not to fail completely on errors, and this should fix the problem on the next run.
