There is *ABSOLUTELY NO* difference from what has been going on previously, except that the state of our deployment checkout will actually be reproducible and trackable instead of mysterious and opaque. As this is information you frequently ask us to be more open about, I expect you should be happy about it. :) Here's how it works: 1) ALL DEVELOPMENT IS DONE ON TRUNK 2) The wmf-deployment branch contains the snapshot of trunk (plus partial upgrades/downgrades or other temporary hacks) that we're running live. Previously the state of 2) was hidden in our working directory on the servers and could not be reproduced easily when we're in between complete "pure" syncs from trunk. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
