[00:02:09] werdnus, yes. [00:02:38] Simetrical: what for? [00:02:40] werdnus, for MediaWiki development. Also for everything on my server: http://www.twcenter.net/gitweb/gitweb.cgi [00:02:49] (yes, I put most of /etc on the web, I am insane!) [00:03:27] I have this vague idea that it looks like a good distributed storage system [00:03:27] but I don't actually know anything about git [00:03:28] It's neat. Lots of random clever things. [00:03:39] And a couple of slightly insane things, but nothing is perfect. [00:04:31] oh my god, Google Earth for iPhone!!!! :D [00:04:32] And it even works on Windows now, or so I've heard. [00:04:32] (not that it affects me directly) [00:04:33] *chuck bets that it sucks, the iPhone isn't powerful enough to handle that [00:04:34] Simetrical: yeah, but what does it *do*, and how do I set it up for fun and profit? [00:05:48] werdnus, sudo apt-get install git-core; cd mydir; git init; start using [00:06:29] werdnus, http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html [00:06:29] I have this idea that it might have stopped me losing a bunch of config for my wikis a few weeks ago because an ex-employee of my host ran dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [00:07:23] Simetrical: What does git have in the way of access control? [00:07:34] 03(mod) JA | revisions - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15973 (10nkomura) [00:07:45] werdnus, it's a revision control system. What kind of access control would you expect? [00:08:21] 03soxred93 * r42703 10/trunk/extensions/InputBox/InputBox.classes.php: (bug 13262) Add preloadtitle option to InputBox, allowing users to specify the title of the sectionin the text field. [00:08:56] Simetrical: Well, I've got some folders in my home directory that I'd like to make public, but there are password files and so on that I'd still like to store in git, but that I don't want publicly accessible. [00:09:13] 03(FIXED) New Talk Page Option - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13262 +comment (10soxred93) [00:10:18] werdnus, ordinarily, all the info is stored in a single .git subdirectory in the base of the versioned directory. That obeys normal filesystem permissions. If you run something like git-daemon or gitweb, that has its own configuration. [00:10:33] 03(mod) Anchor for refereces not shown - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16152 (10bugzilla.wikimedia) [00:11:14] It's like SVN if you want to publish the repos. If you don't want to, then it just sits in your directories. Most of my git repos aren't published (only those two I linked to, really). [00:12:08] Simetrical: Hmmm, would git-daemon or gitweb be able to reject requests for certain files/directories? [00:12:40] werdnus, you could just not add those to the repo, or add them to a different repo. [00:12:50] hm [00:12:54] My published /etc doesn't include things like shadow. [00:13:17] Of course, you can't have two repos in the same directory, you'd have to use symlinks or something if you wanted to version them separately. [00:14:14] hmm [00:14:19] I'll have a play with it later [00:14:26] 03siebrand * r42704 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesEu.php: Localisation updates special page aliases from Betawiki. [00:14:26] right now, I said to myself I'd start on my math an hour ago. [00:14:33] and I still haven't yet.. so I'd better go do that. [00:14:41] What math are you doing? [00:14:42] (this is the less evil math exam, so I'm not too stressed) [00:14:55] Well, I had Extension II yesterday, and tomorrow is the companion Extension I exam. [00:15:05] Which means? [00:15:17] that's a level, not a topic. [00:15:25] what does it encompass? [00:15:37] extension I is... [00:18:17] some basic inequalities (4/(x+1)<3 and such), some basic integration (some substitution, algebraic transformations to make standard integrals), trigonometry, differentiation of course, circle geometry, probability, polynomials, mathematical induction, parametrics, some mechanics (projectile, simple harmonic motion with calculus), inverse functions [00:18:37] "Basic inequalities" doesn't seem to fit on that list. [00:18:57] what benefits does git have over subversion in general? [00:19:11] MinuteElectron: better support for branching, decentralised, ... [00:19:52] hmm, this decentralised thing sounds like it might take up a lot of space - but also be good as a distributed backups [00:20:00] am i correct? [00:20:06] MinuteElectron, mainly the same as any DVCS. Branching and maintaining patches is way easier. Many operations are faster because the full revision history is stored locally. Etc. [00:20:39] i see, never used a dvcs before - only just starting to use vcs' in general for my personal stuff [00:20:48] MinuteElectron, no. It doesn't take up much of any extra space in typical cases (for source code). It's compressed appropriately, so it's not much larger than just storing the current version of the files. [00:20:59] oh, ok [00:21:30] MinuteElectron, IMO, DVCSes are good for personal stuff. Publishing your repo is optional. You can just type "git init" to make a new repo and start checking stuff in locally, without having to set up a server separately. [00:21:42] You can later set a server to serve that repo, of course, if you like. [00:22:01] *werdnus heads off [00:22:54] hmm [00:23:39] 03simetrical * r42705 10/trunk/phase3/includes/Linker.php: Forgot profiling for last commit [00:30:19] 03(mod) Timeline images either generated without text or even not at all. Sometimes also no map areas as well. - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16085 +comment (10hcp) [00:44:08] 03simetrical * r42706 10/trunk/extensions/Drafts/Drafts.hooks.php: [00:44:08] Fix typo, lanuguage -> language [00:44:08] Good thing browsers totally ignore this attribute anyway. :D It's [00:44:08] deprecated according to HTML 4, so maybe it should just be dropped? [00:49:50] 03(NEW) Drafts should use core mechanism for configuring accesskeys - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16153 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki extensions: Drafts; (Simetrical+wikibugs) [00:57:07] 03(mod) New magic word for missing images - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16138 (10stanley) [01:38:58] hiya. when i try to create a template of any sort, i get weird errors, such as these: http://wiki.mobianlegends.com/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_Battle [01:42:06] RingtailedFox: You're missing other templates that that template uses, e.g. Template:WPMILHIST (i'm guessing from that you copied from enwiki) [01:42:28] Sorry, thats Template:WPMILHIST Infobox style [01:43:27] RingtailedFox: The other issue being that it is in tags, meanning it wont show up on that page but will if you use the template in something else [01:45:15] i see [01:45:26] if i copy all necessary stuff from en.wikipedia.org, will it work? [01:49:44] 03dale * r42707 10/trunk/extensions/MetavidWiki/ (12 files in 8 dirs): [01:49:44] sequence menu item updates [01:49:44] removed references to mv_data_proxy (mv_embed) [01:49:44] updated sample page [01:50:38] or, will it simply ask for more and more pages, without giving any results? [01:52:42] RingtailedFox: you'll probably need to copy some classes from MediaWiki:Common.css and/or Monobook.css on en.wikipedia [01:53:02] alrighty [01:53:04] <_mary_kate_> if you're copying templates from WP, make sure you install Parserfunctions extension [01:53:08] <_mary_kate_> nearly all wikipedia templates use that [01:53:10] it's already installed :) [01:54:21] would copying the whole of MediaWiki:Commons.css suffice?
