[00:29:21] can 2fa not use email? [09:18:42] hello, what is the command for installing mediawiki - wikimedia branch from git? [09:37:57] baruna: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki#Run_the_installation_script [09:38:21] baruna: but when installing from git, remember you need to run: composer install --no-dev for each repository [13:42:59] thedj: but there is not explained the wikimedia BRANCH [13:43:22] thedj: I mean what's the name of wikimedia branch [13:44:24] I want to make a script and always use the same version which is used on wikimedia wikis [13:50:16] oh, that is not a specific branch [13:50:50] baruna: every week sees a new 1.3#-wmf.# branch and release. [13:51:19] baruna: and then everyday on top of that are backparts and private patches on top of those weekly point releases. [13:51:26] backports [13:53:11] for instance, this week, most wiki's are on 1.34.0-wmf.8 https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/tree/wmf/1.34.0-wmf.8 [13:55:43] thedj: so how can I install this 1.34.0-wmf.8 version and next week 1.34.0-wmf.9 (if this is its name) [13:58:30] the version is probably kept somwewhere, but i'm not entirely sure where.. [13:58:46] most people who want this level of up-to-date'ness just run master instead. [14:00:53] the master version contains some critical errors sometimes. I'd like to run the wmf branch cause it should be more stable [14:02:02] baruna: wmf.* contains some critical errors sometimes ;) That's why the foundation updates 3x per day (aka SWAT deploy windows) [14:02:05] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/SWAT_deploys [14:03:52] if you run WMF branch, I'd advise to also update multiple times today.. Now if you run that version 2 weeks after the foundation, then yes, it should be pretty stable indeed. [14:04:19] i'm asking if there is a canonical version for the wmf point releases, but i'm not sure.. [14:05:12] when I ran the master branch before, sometimes I really needed to fix things and it was not comfortable. I never experienced this problem on any of wmf wikis where I'm very active since many years [14:07:16] baruna: that's because of the 24/5 oversight by the release engineering team ;) Believe me when the .wmf version goes live, problems are not uncommon, they just get solved quickly ;) [14:09:04] thedj: this is why I'd like to have the wmf version [14:10:49] baruna: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/wikiversions.json [14:11:39] but again, i'd advise being on the point release 2 weeks after what WMF runs. As WMF spends 1,5 week fixing in production what is wrong with master ;) [14:12:45] thedj: thank you [14:13:18] thedj: you mean there could still be problems when it's used on huge wikis like english.wikipedia? [14:13:45] baruna: yes [14:14:42] while likely not super critical, yes absolutely. [14:15:51] hm but the branch is not named php-1.34.0-wmf.8 anyway [14:16:18] Git: warning: Could not find remote branch php-1.34.0-wmf.8 to clone. [14:16:55] no you have to strip 'php-' [14:17:23] it's because we recently went from hhvm to php, which was a huge deploy challenge [14:18:23] Warning: Could not find remote branch 1.34.0-wmf.8 to clone. [14:21:17] I tried to use this command: git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/core.git --branch 1.34.0-wmf.8 --depth=1 [14:22:19] git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/core.git --branch wmf/1.34.0-wmf.8 --depth=1 [14:23:08] thedj: thank you! it finally works :) [14:25:02] baruna: another note, all wmf point releases for 1.34 are deleted after the REL1_34 release branch is created. just an FYI. [14:25:16] or well, a couple of weeks after at least. [14:25:30] thedj: ok [14:26:22] baruna: and remember to either update to the /vendor directory of WMF as well. or to run composer install --no-dev for each repo after updating. [14:26:31] baruna: and maintenance/update.php of course [14:26:42] thedj: yes of course, I do it [19:57:57] edsanders: hey, this is straightforward and rather important: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/UrlShortener/+/517481
