[00:03:07] 14(INVALID) rescaling of animated gif increase size - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11822 +comment (10bj) [00:03:10] Has anyone installed OCaml and the Math extension? [00:04:11] Jazz: ask your real question [00:04:49] I am trying to install teh ability to use the

tag
[00:05:35] I understand that it's not as easy as $wgUseTeX = true; in LocalSettings.php
[00:06:43] Jazz: has some instructions on what you need to do.
[00:07:39] Thanks, Pathoschild. It leads me to /math/README
[00:07:44] that's where i was
[00:07:50] Pathoshild
[00:07:52] the README says i need to install OCaml
[00:07:55] Diderot: Oui?
[00:07:58] J'ai perdu un cahier, tu sais pas ou il est?
[00:08:12] Diderot: Oui, il est dans ton sac.
[00:08:16] Dans Pathoschild .
[00:08:20] o.o
[00:08:21] Non, malheureusement :'(
[00:08:45] Il s'est enfui, dans ce cas. :(
[00:09:09] Pathoschild aime manger les cahiers. >:|
[00:09:15] o.o
[00:09:26] I am on a shared host (lunarpages). Now I downloaded the OCaml binary for Linux (RPM package) but where do I upload it? In wiki/includes?
[00:10:01] No~n, c'est juste qu'ils disparaissent comme par magie quand je suis dans le coin.
[00:10:29] Uh huh.
[00:10:49] Jazz: That sounds like something you'll need to install, which means you need root access (ie, no shared hosts, unless you can get your host to install it).
[00:11:02] there's a texvc linux binary somewhere
[00:11:03] *huggle 	frappe Pathoschild avec un Diderot.
[00:11:08] o.o !
[00:11:44] Oh no..that means it will take several days. Thanks anyway, Pathoschild
[00:11:52] Welcome.
[00:12:09] it won't take several days if you use the existing texvc linux binary
[00:15:31] i have installed media wiki
[00:15:53] but the help link links to an internal empty help page
[00:16:01] is that what is suppsoed to happen?
[00:16:26] flyingparchment: The existing texvc binary is where?
[00:16:35] i don't know off hand, try google
[00:17:14] So that has OCaml bundled in already?
[00:17:39] it doesn't need ocaml to run, only to build
[00:19:47] OK. So if i get the texvc binary, then I don't need to build (coz it's a binary). Ergo don't need OCaml. Have I understood you correctly flyingparchment?
[00:19:55] fyes
[00:19:59] -f
[00:20:03] great thanks
[00:20:08] one last question though
[00:20:24] once i get this texvc binary from somewhere on the Net, where do I upload it?
[00:22:15] Is includes/ the right place to put the binary?
[00:24:06] I need help I am sure ubuntu is installing ok as I have done countless installs now so why wont Linux MCE installer start the wizard to begin installtion?
[00:25:20] Jazz: it should go in math/
[00:25:26] adrian: what is linux mce?
[00:25:45] OK. Thanks, flyingparchment. I found the binary. I'll upload it and try.
[00:26:11] flyingparchment: Media centre edition
[00:26:22] adrian: what does that have to do with mediawiki?
[00:27:11] I am desperately looking anywhere for help and I am a litle new to linux and these chat forums! Do excuse me if I am in the wrong place.
[00:29:38] flyingparchment, It's not working. I did some digging around. The readme for the texvc binary says that for texvc to work, the followoing programs must be available in current PATH
[00:29:51] latex
[00:29:53] dvips
[00:29:59] convert
[00:30:00]

or use a style that has text-align: center [20:00:45] gongoputch: yes [20:00:51] Duesentrieb: ? [20:01:10] thanks! [20:01:12] dpy: *gah* uh, my typing is really bad. [20:01:16] dpy: "done" :P [20:01:33] ah tnx! I also put the license on the extension page [20:01:35] dpy: my fingers seem to be connected to my beain in an odd way. [20:01:42] cool [20:02:06] Duesentrieb: what's the URI of your site? [20:02:14] so I can update the extension page [20:02:28] dpy: my personal website, or the place where i put your bundle? [20:02:39] where the bundle is yes [20:02:41] dpy: i already updated the page (and i posted the url here earlier) [20:06:00] I see, I have updated it again, I've put yours as a temporary mirror... [20:06:42] Duesentrieb: I also happen to have a patch for ee, if that is appreciated? [20:07:13] ee? [20:07:32] hm? what? mirror? [20:08:07] you know ee ? [20:08:14] external editor ? [20:08:25] it hasn't been touched since 2005 [20:14:40] dpy: ah... i know it exists, never lookd into it. i don't think many people use it - too complicated to set up. [20:15:03] dpy: please file patches on bugzilla. add keywords "patch" and "needs-review". [20:15:46] ok, no prob [20:16:44] Duesentrieb: how was it too hard to set up? it worked right away here... [20:17:15] I only had to add http authentication support... [20:17:26] hi [20:18:28] have some prob: on my recent changes list the time is not correct for changes, the funny thing, for some users the time is one hour back and for my account one hour before the correct time [20:18:33] whats wrong? [20:18:47] if i sign something, the time is correct by the way [20:22:00] DarsVaeda: the time offset in automatic listings is a per-user option. [20:22:22] DarsVaeda: it also does not automatically update on DST changes (or maybe that was fixed, not sure) [20:22:33] DarsVaeda: go to your preferences, and set your time offset [20:22:48] so its alway the personal time of a user? [20:23:11] yes [20:23:17] by why is mine one hour in future when my signings are correct? [20:23:32] because signatuires are *not* in the personal timezone [20:23:48] they are rendered into plain text [20:23:53] so they have to be the same for everyone [20:23:56] oh ok [20:24:07] thanks [20:28:50] anyone seen yurik lately? [20:33:24] 03(NEW) Patch: HTTP Authentication support for ee.pl/ee.ini - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11833 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki extensions: General/Unknown; (EleotleCram) [20:35:31] Duesentrieb: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11833 (I've used keywords 'patch needs-review') [20:36:31] dpy: that attachement is odd. it's not a patch. what is it? [20:37:08] dpy: ideally, make patches with svn diff [20:37:30] that way, the diff includes also the revision patched against, etc [20:41:07] huh [20:41:13] it should!!!!!!! [20:41:24] well, it ain't :P [20:41:34] it is here [20:41:47] http://www.dwarfhouse.org/mtoele/ee-httpauthentication.patch.gz [20:41:54] Oh it's a .gz [20:42:03] You should gunzip [20:42:07] oh [20:42:09] sorry [20:42:20] I can't change it anymore, now, can I ?

Something about the API? [20:55:13] yeah [20:55:25] he'll probably be on soon I bet [20:55:35] but if not, I might shoot him an email :-) [21:00:48] RoanKattouw: if I understanded you corrently, it's then better to do x number of queries requesting the last rev of x pages, than to build it up in a generator? [21:00:58] AzaTht yes [21:01:02] for the servers [21:01:05] Yeah [21:01:17] We don't want 5000 DB requests in such a short time [21:01:21] it will be the same ammount of data in need to grabbing [21:01:33] Yes but it's throttled more [21:01:41] RoanKattouw: possible I do all the 5000 requests at once [21:01:44] If people want to make 5000 requests, we can't stop them [21:02:02] as I'm doing it in javascript, it's all or nothing [21:02:06] If people can get the API to do 5000 DB request with one web request, DOS attacks are very easy [21:02:20] And AzaTht think about load balancing [21:02:23] you could add an limit [21:02:30] Multiple requests can be divided among multiple servers [21:02:33] true [21:02:51] There's an unwritten policy around here: DB queries in loops are evil. Period. [21:03:16] If you don't honor that rule, Domas puts you on his death list ;) [21:04:11] why are people removing ?>'s? [21:04:24] Because they are evil [21:04:28] why? [21:04:32] At the end of a file that is [21:04:35] me like them [21:04:40] Say you have ?> and then some newlines [21:04:49] well, don't put newlines then [21:05:09] If you know there's one newline in the entire MW source, how do you track it down? [21:05:19] Even worse if you're not on a Linux/Unix box [21:05:34] Even AWK needs time to go through our entire repository [21:06:01] don't add one [21:06:05] If you remove the ?> on the end, trailing newlines being output and disabling header() functionality is not an issue [21:06:17] :) [21:06:18] yeah yeah [21:08:44] 03(mod) Split patrolling into new page patrolling and recent changes patrolling - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1405 +comment (10kaldari) [21:09:39] eww patrolling [21:13:47] n8 [21:29:35] is SearchEngine.php use by the standard search box?

[21:50:10] Administrator the MySQL/MSSQL/PostgreSQL module isn't installed [21:50:29] PHP needs either the MySQL module or the PostGreSQL module to access your DB [21:50:35] (MSSQL isn't supported) [21:50:47] Which one you need depends on which DB server you use [21:51:32] i'm running Apache and under HTTP Header Info i am showing mysqli [21:51:44] Check your phpinfo [21:51:59] nite all...

[21:54:28] so, I don't think that's doing much [21:54:57] no i don't see it [21:55:10] Vagabond then the MySQL module isn't enabled [21:55:14] PHP 5 I presume? [21:55:20] yes it is [21:55:42] Windows or Linux/Unix? [21:55:46] windows [21:57:35] When you installed PHP, did you choose the MySQL extension?

[22:21:03] XDuxaX: not offhand, but it should be trivial enough... [22:21:30] XDuxaX: set up XAMPP, don't forget to set a root pw for mysql, unpack mediawiki into a webdir, go there witha a browser, fill out form.

[22:35:54] i need certain pages to be viewable only by certain user groups... [22:37:21] *jlerner wonders about using SpecialPage_initList hook [22:37:59] jlerner: something like SpecialUnwatchedpages.php does? [22:38:20] jlerner: the Lockdown extension can do that [22:38:47] *jlerner looks [22:39:51] Duesentrieb: excellent [22:39:59] you've written so many extensions.. ;-) [22:40:07] not really [22:40:32] less than 10 i guess [22:40:39] good stuff [22:40:58] it's relatively simple to write extension for WM [22:41:08] the architecture behind it is decent [22:42:28] yah [22:43:03] BrokenArrow: looking at SpecialUnwatchedpages.php, just out of curiousity... [22:57:08] k [22:57:12] I'm signing off [22:57:18] night all [23:25:34] hello [23:26:11] I have imported "current" dump using MWDump and I don't have anything in categories [23:26:42] is there a way to update this data? [23:29:07] Derbeth: you can try either loading the corresponding categorylinks.sql file or running maintenance/refreshLinks.php [23:30:50] how can I get this categorylinks.sql file? [23:30:59] refreshLink seems to work very, very slow [23:32:25] Derbeth: where did you get the "current" dump from? [23:33:52] oh, I see [23:56:21] <[ace]an[9el]> how do you export/import system messages in mediawiki? [23:56:33] [ace]an[9el]: like you import/export any page [23:58:43] <[ace]an[9el]> Special:Export/Allmessages ? [23:59:29] [ace]an[9el]: i doubt that will work [23:59:54] <[ace]an[9el]> I guess it isn't possible
