Hello, sometimes plans change while you are working on them ;-) The plan for tonight was to move and update some of the localized wikis. Things worked better and faster than expected, and in the end we (Max, Theo and I) moved *all 18 localized wikis* from Provo to Nuremberg and updated them to MediaWiki 1.27 :-) This means *all* openSUSE wikis are now running on MediaWiki 1.27 and support the features announced for the english wiki last week. For probably obvious reasons, I didn't have time to change the <feed> tags to the new <rss> tags. I'll do that in the next days, but I won't complain if someone is faster and does it in some of the wikis ;-) There are two exceptions: old-en.o.o and old-de.o.o, which contain the historical content of the old german and english wiki before they were rebuilt from scratch some years ago. I have the data for them, but didn't update them yet because a) 18 wikis are enough for an evening ;-) and b) they were still running MediaWiki 1.15.1 (released in 2009!) which will make the update "a bit" more interesting[tm]. I didn't want to do this after midnight ;-) For those who are interested in statistics: - moving 18 wikis in about 6 hours means about 20 minutes per wiki - can someone beat this? ;-) [1] [2] - today's move came with about 500 lines on IRC to coordinate everything - this helped to keep the read-only time of each wiki short - I'd guess on average each wiki was read-only for 30 minutes (again, can someone beat this? ;-) - we moved about 10 GB of uploaded files and 1.6 GB of mysql dumps today (which was sometimes "funny" because the server in Provo is limited to a 10 MBit connection) Regards, Christian Boltz PS: I plan to make a news.o.o article and maybe also an announcement mail based on the above, so if you notice anything that should be changed, added or removed, please tell me ;-) [1] I still can't believe this myself ;-) [2] Of course this was only possible with "some" preparation (having all directories, empty databases etc. ready). And I probably don't need to mention that I spent several months on preparing the update of the english wiki. The other wikis were just "me too" migrations ;-) -- The speed at which a mistyped command executes is directly proportional to the amount of damage done.
