Hello,
I'd like to summarize the schedule for the wiki update. Those who joined
the last heroes meeting should already know it ;-)
- beginning of next week (maybe tuesday evening, but I have to check
this with Max and Theo): update the english wiki
- let people do the real testing (aka "using/editing") in the updated
english wiki - not too many people test on en-test.o.o, so if
something is broken, we'll only find out after updating the production
wiki
- a week later: start updating the other wikis until a) all are done ;-)
or b) 4 days before the Leap 42.3 release
Update means (without including all the technical details):
- the to-be-updated wiki will be set to read-only mode
- Max fetches a database dump and the uploaded files
- I import files and database dump to the wiki VM, update the database
scheme etc.
- when everything is ready, Theo switches over the DNS entry
This means that the wiki will be read-only for some hours.
@Ludwig and Doug:
I know the 42.3 release is pretty soon. This is why I CC you. If one of
you sees a problem with the above plan, please tell me ;-)
@Doug:
We'd like to have an article on news.o.o before the wiki update
(announcing the downtime/read-only time), and an "update done"
afterwards that also describes the changes and new features (based on
the "What's new?" section on https://en-test.opensuse.org/Main_Page).
An alternative would be to include the "What's new?" part already in the
article that announces the read-only time, and update that article when
the update is done. (Doug, which way do you prefer?)
I'll draft the news article (probably tomorrow) and send it to you for
review.
Note: I don't have an account on news.o.o, so you'll probably need to
post the news article (and update it or post the second one when the
update is done). If you don't want to update news.o.o in the late
evening, give me an account ;-)
For the update of the other wikis, I'll probably use the admin blog - we
have about 20 wikis, and having a news.o.o article for each of them
would be a bit too much ;-)
Oh, BTW - the new wiki VMs [1] are already running with Leap 42.3. Feel
free to include this detail in the 42.3 marketing as soon as the english
wiki is updated ;-)
Regards,
Christian Boltz

Hi @ll
At the moment, most machines hosting the openSUSE infrastructure in
Nuremberg are running in a co-location network together with other
services from other teams/companies (like SUSE, openAttic, KDE, ...)
With the new openSUSE Heroes team, SUSE-IT wants to split up the
network into pieces to allow the heroes to get access to nearly
everything they need for their work. It might be also used to clarify
the responsibility for some services and make the openSUSE setup a bit
more easy and clear.
But this network split comes with some migration downtime. For most of
the machines, a simple "shutdown", "put into the other network", "boot"
should be enough (so something around max. 5-10 Minutes per machine).
But some machines - especially those that are providing their service
to others in this network - are a bit trickier...
I started http://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/Server_migration to collect
the affected machines together with some nodes and want to ask you:
1) Can someone from the SUSE-IT Heroes join the work?
=> All machines need a DNS change (new external IP) during the time, so
we should minimize the refresh time, if not already done.
=> the haproxy setup on the old and new instances needs to be adapted
during the migration.
=> we need to clarify the database usage and split up new DB servers,
if needed
2) When will be the best time when we can start with the migration ?
3) What did I miss?
At the moment, my plan number #1 is to do the following on this
Thursday:
* migrate freeIPA, chip, mickey and minnie to the new network
* follow with other, easier to migrate machines like keyserver, icc,
hackweek, ... as time permits
* check the mysql and postgresql servers for their running databases
and plan the split
Regards,
Lars

Hello, I am making a new UI theme for openSUSE sites.
software.opensuse.org is almost finished. Now I am turning to wiki. Here
are some problems I have:
1. The source code on Github is still MediaWiki 1.22, not the newer
version in testing wiki
2. Cannot setup a local test environment. All kinds missing PHP files
problems appear. Many things on LocalSettings.php doesn't work with
local test environment.
Hope someone knowing wiki configuration could help me!

Hello,
[cross-post - please reply only on one of the mailinglists]
A month after the first call for testing the updated wiki, here is
another one ;-)
Compared to the "old" test wiki [1], there were a few changes:
- the test wiki is now running on the final VMs that will also be used
for the production wiki
- login is now done with the Auth_remoteuser extension (which means we
can continue to use the "nice" login form)
- the test wiki is now based on a (nearly) up-to-date snapshot of the
english wiki
- several changes "under the hood", including automated setup of the VMs
and the wikis with salt, some extension updates, config tuning etc.
- oh, and the wiki VMs are already running openSUSE Leap 42.3 :-)
That all said - the test wiki is waiting for you at
https://en-test.opensuse.org/
Please check if everything still works, play with it, test the new
features, ...! It is a test instance, so nobody will complain if you do
test edits that don't make sense content-wise
At the same time, remember that it is a test instance, so any changes
you do will be lost when I re-import the database dump for whatever
reason.
If you notice any issues, please report them - either in one of the
mailinglists (opensuse-wiki preferred) or send a mail to
admin(a)opensuse.org
If nothing terrible happens, I plan to update en.opensuse.org next week.
If you enjoyed testing the new wiki, please also take some time to go to
our current wiki (en.opensuse.org or $LANG.opensuse.org) - there are
lots of pages that need an update ;-)
And finally - thanks to everybody who helped me to get everything in
shape!
Regards,
Christian Boltz
[1] See https://en-test.opensuse.org/Main_Page for the list of changes
compared to the current production wikis.
It's probably more impressive than the list in this mail ;-)

Hello,
I linkpac'ed (with the -c option) the mediawiki and elasticsearch
packages into openSUSE:infrastructure:wiki.
These packages don't come from a devel project, so please review them
before we start to use them in production ;-)
BTW: You might want to read
https://blog.cboltz.de/archives/76-Packaging-MediaWiki-extensions.html
to understand some packaging decisions I made.

Christian Boltz
