We could simply delete the old branches after a few deployment cycles. If we want to keep the reference for history purposes, would tagging the tip of it be enough ? If you find yourself struggling to find out the last 2 wmf branches, you can write a tiny script to sort and filter the branches, keeping only the last two. -- Antoine "hashar" Musso ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:52:38 +0200 From: Željko Filipin zfilipin@wikimedia.org To: Wikimedia developers wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] MediaWiki-Vagrant: new features Message-ID:     CABfBeAr+=eBUMSTfHEMJrHGVE77rBngryhQeoyPcoxZqDh589A@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Ori, Is there a reason for having Guest Additions Version 4.1.12 in the VM instead of 4.2? $ vagrant up (...) [default] VM booted and ready for use! [default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can cause things such as shared folders to not work properly. If you see shared folder errors, please update the guest additions within the virtual machine and reload your VM. Guest Additions Version: 4.1.12 VirtualBox Version: 4.2 [default] Setting hostname... (...) I will file a bug in Bugzilla if that is something you can fix.

(Remember, guest additions run on the guest.) You can update to the latest version by running 'update-guest-additions' in the VM. I'll take the opportunity to remind folks who use Vagrant to send some positive feedback to Canonical. The Vagrant image they provide is part of a beta program they have not yet committed to supporting permanently. Per http://blog.utlemming.org/2013/01/vagrant-cloud-images.html "For those who use Vagrant, your feedback is essential. Please feel free to send feedback via the ubuntu-cloud@lists.ubuntu.com mailing list." ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l End of Wikitech-l Digest, Vol 122, Issue 65 *******************************************
