[opensuse-wiki] All openSUSE wikis updated and moved home
by Christian Boltz 23 Jul '17

23 Jul '17

Dear openSUSE Community, sometimes plans change while you are working on them ;-) The plan for yesterday evening was to move and update some of the localized wikis. Things worked better and faster than expected, and in the end we 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 [1]. I didn't have time to change the <feed> tags to the new <rss> tags in all wikis yet. 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 ;-) (use the search to find pages containing "<feed", and check https://en.opensuse.org/Help:RSS_feeds for the <rss> syntax) For those who are interested in statistics: - moving 18 wikis in about 6 hours means about 20 minutes per wiki - can someone beat this? ;-) - during the move, we wrote 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 from Provo to Nuremberg yesterday (which was sometimes "funny" because the server in Provo limits the connection to 10 MBit) And now - have fun with the updated wikis and the upcoming openSUSE Leap 42.3!

[opensuse-wiki] Zypper cheat sheet
by Tristan Miller 21 Jul '17

21 Jul '17

Dear all, Can anyone point me to the editable source of the Zypper cheat sheets at <https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_usage#Cheat_sheet>? I believe I've identified some errors in the cheat sheets and want to correct them, but I can't do that when all I have are the PDFs. I tried posting on the discussion page at <https://en.opensuse.org/File_talk:Zypper-cheat-sheet-1.pdf> but I doubt that it's being monitored by anyone. The users who contributed the PDFs, Digitaltomm (in CC) and Tomm-fa, don't seem to have been active for many years.

[opensuse-wiki] English openSUSE wiki updated and moved home
by Christian Boltz 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Dear openSUSE Community, the MediaWiki instance hosted behind en.opensuse.org has been moved from the old Provo cluster to the new Nuremberg opensuse network. Together with the move, the wiki also got an update from MediaWiki 1.22 to 1.27, and the VM hosting it from an old SLE version to openSUSE Leap 42.3 (yes, we are eating our own dogfood!) ‎ New features are: - including files directly from github -> https://en.opensuse.org/Help:GitHub_inclusion - namespace-specific boilerplates (page templates) when creating new pages -> https://en.opensuse.org/Help:MultiBoilerplate - better search (elasticsearch) - now searching all namespaces, but with different weight - login is now done using the Auth_remoteuser extension - but still with your openSUSE login - support for several map providers - switched extension for RSS feed integration (this needs adjustments on the pages that include RSS feeds) -> https://en.opensuse.org/Help:RSS_feeds - watching a category (when pages get added to or removed from it) is now part of MediaWiki core - removal of Hermes notifications - MediaWiki's own notifications work much better If you encounter any issue, please let us know by mail to admin(a)opensuse.org. We'll let the dust settle for some days, and plan to move and update the localized wikis next week. Regards, Christian Boltz -- > New Versions usually bring bug fixes and security fixes. ...and new bugs. Funny how people tend to forget about that.

[opensuse-wiki] openSUSE FAQ (En) - Link for German version points to an invalid page
by Maik Wagner 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

Hello everyone, I had a look at the English version of the openSUSE FAQ which is at: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:FAQ I noticed that the Link on the left column for German/Deutsch points to an invalid page which should be at http://de.opensuse.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions The page (German version) does exist though and it can be found at: https://de.opensuse.org/openSUSE:FAQ Can you fix this link on the English version please as I do not have sufficient rights for the English version.

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki update - second call for testing
by Christian Boltz 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

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 ;-) -- The real crime is that I'm not allowed to marry my database.
