2019-05-01 11:00:07 <pdehaye2> (i am back, still looking for an answer, and checking the logs too)

2019-05-01 14:40:18 <Urbanecm> Hi everyone. I'm experiencing really strange issues with git rn. Can anybody have a look at https://ctrlv.cz/KJlS and tell me what might be happening?
2019-05-01 14:40:21 <Urbanecm> I'm out of ideas :(
2019-05-01 14:41:31 <Reedy> It's not some weird .gitignore but force added file is it?
2019-05-01 14:42:21 <Urbanecm> Reedy, this is my .gitignore: https://paste.ee/p/5KXVN
2019-05-01 14:43:11 <Reedy> What does git add-ing the file explicitly happen
2019-05-01 14:43:36 <Urbanecm> Reedy, https://ctrlv.cz/WwXv
2019-05-01 14:43:41 <Urbanecm> nothing changes in git status
2019-05-01 14:47:48 <Reedy> No change of file case?
2019-05-01 14:49:51 <Urbanecm> Reedy, no visible change
2019-05-01 14:50:05 <Urbanecm> but I _did_ change casing of file names, maybe I screwed up something
2019-05-01 14:50:09 <Urbanecm> but I've no idea how and how to fix it
2019-05-01 14:50:20 <wm-bot> Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 10 minutes in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @James_F & @mooeypoo - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting
2019-05-01 14:55:01 <Reedy> Urbanecm: What files did you change the case of?
2019-05-01 14:55:22 <Reedy> Do they still exist on disk?
2019-05-01 14:55:48 <Urbanecm> Reedy, the whole folder Statistics.Client was with lowercase s (statistics.Client)
2019-05-01 14:56:15 <Reedy> That's almost certainly the problem
2019-05-01 14:56:16 <James_F> Urbanecm: Are you on Windows with a case-insensitive filesystem?
2019-05-01 14:56:26 <Reedy> is there still a statistics.Client and Statistics.Client on disk?
2019-05-01 14:56:26 <Urbanecm> windows with linux subsystem
2019-05-01 14:56:38 <James_F> Could be a case-fight.
2019-05-01 14:56:53 <Urbanecm> not according to windows
2019-05-01 14:58:28 <James_F> Yeah, Windows gets confused about these things.
2019-05-01 14:58:44 <mooeypoo> o/
2019-05-01 14:59:14 <James_F> Generally the only advice is "don't use Windows", which isn't realistic for many, sadly.
2019-05-01 14:59:32 <Urbanecm> yeah...
2019-05-01 14:59:48 <Reedy> lol
2019-05-01 14:59:56 <Reedy> do a clean clone of the repo and use that?
2019-05-01 15:00:12 <Urbanecm> I've tried that, but that didn't help
2019-05-01 15:00:37 <James_F> Anyway, welcome all to the Tech Advice meeting.
2019-05-01 15:00:45 <xSavitar> lol
2019-05-01 15:00:47 <James_F> I'm here with mooeypoo to answer your questions.
2019-05-01 15:00:57 <Urbanecm> anyway, managed to fix that by deleting the files and recreating them - at least the clone is clean
2019-05-01 15:01:05 <Urbanecm> thanks for your help
2019-05-01 15:01:07 <mooeypoo> Welcome to the Technical Advice IRC meetings everyone. We're here to answer your questions! \o/
2019-05-01 15:01:10 <James_F> Be they about git and Windows, git and Linux, git and Macs, or indeed non-git issues. :-)
2019-05-01 15:03:24 <mainframe98> I've got a question: Is it preferred in MediaWiki to cache non-objects vs objects? I've got an instance of an object I need to cache, but from what I can deduce, that all uses serialize/unserialize.
2019-05-01 15:04:00 <James_F> mainframe98: I don't know, sorry.
2019-05-01 15:04:39 <mainframe98> I could also just cache the arrays that go into that class, but that would be slightly more work. It would be a little saver, as it wouldn't store any objects in the cache, but doesn't migate the issue entirely
2019-05-01 15:05:08 <mainframe98> meant safer
2019-05-01 15:05:25 <James_F> nods.
2019-05-01 15:05:33 <James_F> I don't touch PHP caching, sorry. :-(
2019-05-01 15:06:28 <mooeypoo> I'm afraid I can't answer that either, I don't know enough about this.
2019-05-01 15:06:50 <McJohn> I’ve got a quick question (not about git, sorry) but who is the intended audience for Special:ApiFeatureUsage ?
2019-05-01 15:07:00 <mainframe98> James_F: Alright, I'll ask again at another meeting. Thanks for answering.
2019-05-01 15:07:46 <McJohn> In particular, is it more helpful to set a useragent by tool, by tool version, or more narrow, like per task in a tool?
2019-05-01 15:07:58 <James_F> McJohn: The main use is for us developers in determining how much API endpoints are used and which we can switch off with less impact.
2019-05-01 15:10:16 <McJohn> So, in short, not much matters as far as user agent versioning, etc
2019-05-01 15:10:17 <McJohn> Thanks
2019-05-01 15:10:37 <James_F> (E.g. if we find that action=compare is being massively used by IE6, we should go find out why.)
2019-05-01 15:10:57 <miquel> hello, I have started using wikidata recently and I am very impressed by its performance. I am using other SPARQL endpoints at work and those do not perform ads well as yours. I would like to learn more about your architecture and data modeling. Could somebody point me to a source with updated information? Thank you.
2019-05-01 15:10:58 <James_F> Honestly, I don't think it's a very valuable thing for us to have built over the years. :-)
2019-05-01 15:11:40 <James_F> miquel: Hey. The SPARQL endpoint is provided via the wikidata query service which is I believe Blazegraph-powered.
2019-05-01 15:12:46 <James_F> miquel: hahttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Query_Service/Implementations a lot of details. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/wikidata/query/rdf/+/masterhas the code
2019-05-01 15:13:00 <James_F> Err.
2019-05-01 15:13:26 <James_F> miquel: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Query_Service/Implementation has a lot of details. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/wikidata/query/rdf/+/master has the code
2019-05-01 15:13:39 <James_F> Sorry, my IRC client is eating half of my typing. :-(
2019-05-01 15:13:52 <James_F> miquel: You may get some more information from people in #wikidata.
2019-05-01 15:16:09 <miquel> thank you James for your help :)
2019-05-01 15:27:24 <James_F> Still here for questions. :-)
2019-05-01 15:54:27 <lucaswerkmeister> can I still ask a question?
2019-05-01 15:54:34 <Reedy> nope
2019-05-01 15:54:36 <Reedy> never
2019-05-01 15:55:19 <McJohn> lol
2019-05-01 15:55:32 <James_F> lucaswerkmeister: Go for it. ;-)
2019-05-01 15:55:45 <lucaswerkmeister> any news on Python 3.5 availability in Toolforge?
2019-05-01 15:55:59 <James_F> Oh, sorry. No idea.
2019-05-01 15:56:07 <lucaswerkmeister> ok, then I’ll just keep watching https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219091 I guess
2019-05-01 15:56:11 <lucaswerkmeister> was worth a try
2019-05-01 15:56:18 <James_F> Yeah.
2019-05-01 18:25:37 <legoktm> lucaswerkmeister: py3.5 for CLI or webservices?
2019-05-01 18:25:46 <lucaswerkmeister> webservices
2019-05-01 18:25:51 <lucaswerkmeister> kubernetes ones specifically
2019-05-01 18:26:04 <legoktm> oh, I read the ticket now
2019-05-01 19:59:30 <RhinosF1> thcipriani, Potential issue with today's train deployments - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218511
2019-05-01 20:00:08 <Reedy> It's been around 6 weeks, it's not a blocker
2019-05-01 20:00:51 <RhinosF1> Reedy, according to a report, it's got worse since the train was deployed
2019-05-01 20:04:49 <thcipriani> report?
2019-05-01 20:04:55 <thcipriani> reads
2019-05-01 20:05:47 <Reedy> I see it as an annoyance, but not a train blocker
2019-05-01 20:07:11 <thcipriani> the fact that it has been ongoing would seem to indicate that rolling back would have no effect
2019-05-01 20:07:31 <Reedy> Not unless you go back many versions
2019-05-01 20:09:15 <RhinosF1> Thcipriani, Reedy, I doubt it's rollback worthy but a look at why it's worse since the train might be in order
2019-05-01 20:09:46 <Reedy> Well, Aaron has been dealing with it...
2019-05-01 20:09:49 <Reedy> It's only just been reported it
2019-05-01 20:09:57 <Reedy> He may or may not be working today (yet)
2019-05-01 20:10:02 <Reedy> I'm sure he'll look at it
2019-05-01 20:10:51 <RhinosF1> Reedy, Thanks for the help, I'll post on phab if no one beats me to it summing up the discussion on here
2019-05-01 21:00:04 <RhinosF1> Reedy, Still around? https://deployment.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/User:Rhinosf1/common.js - Don't need this anymore, any chance of a deletion??
2019-05-01 21:30:01 <quiddity> RhinosF1, just blank it. It's not worth the distraction-time for him to log-in and delete it. Blanked .js pages are harmless.
2019-05-01 23:51:39 <Dragonfly6-7> who runs the GLAM tool/
2019-05-01 23:51:46 <Dragonfly6-7> ?
2019-05-01 23:52:13 <Reedy> glam tool?
2019-05-01 23:52:57 <Dragonfly6-7> https://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/glamorous.php
2019-05-01 23:53:26 <Dragonfly6-7> every time it's supposed to point to wikiquote, it actually points to 'wikiquote.wikipedia.org'
2019-05-01 23:53:28 <Reedy> Magnus Manske
2019-05-01 23:53:36 <Dragonfly6-7> he still active?
2019-05-01 23:53:49 <Reedy> https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/glamtools/src/master/
2019-05-01 23:53:51 <Reedy> Ish
2019-05-01 23:54:22 <Dragonfly6-7> i really don't feel like climbing up the learning curve just to post a bug report
2019-05-01 23:54:31 <Dragonfly6-7> is this something you could do for me
2019-05-01 23:54:32 <Reedy> shrugs
2019-05-01 23:54:35 <Reedy> No
2019-05-01 23:54:38 <Reedy> I don't have an account there
2019-05-01 23:54:52 <Dragonfly6-7> likewise
2019-05-01 23:54:56 <Dragonfly6-7> anyone else?
2019-05-01 23:54:57 <Reedy> Special:EmailUser?
2019-05-01 23:56:16 <Dragonfly6-7> shakes head
2019-05-01 23:57:38 <Dragonfly6-7> he does specifically ask that bug reports be made on bitbucket
2019-05-01 23:57:59 <Reedy> No
2019-05-01 23:58:24 <Reedy> But on https://tools.wmflabs.org/admin/tools that's basically the only info
