Dear Ariel,
0) Context
I am working on WP-MIRROR 0.8. The concept is that WP-MIRROR will be ``WMF
in a microcosm''. To this end, I am enhancing the --dump option of
WP-MIRROR. I would like it to be able to generate XML/SQL dumps just like
WMF does. I will also add the capability to generate ZIM files, media
tarballs, etc.
1) Code
Could you please tell me what code is being used at WMF to generate your
monthly XML/SQL dumps. Also let me know if there is any relevant
documentation.
2) DEB
I would like to consider rolling the dump generating code into a DEB
package, as was done for your `mwxml2sql'. As before, I would be happy to
write the man page.
Sincerely Yours,
Kent
