Plus, If you were looking into the manuals correctly.

It's fantastic that this is documented and translated! But, I also would hate to discourage people from using this list for support; Huji's question was a perfectly legitimate use of labs-l. Encouraged, even!

Labs-l is typically quite low-traffic, but for those who would prefer a low-traffic announcement-only mailing list you can move your subscription from labs-l to labs-announce: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-announce

    Well, protocol of solving issues (IMO) is checking help pages,
    then stack overflow, then asking in IRC and the last case filing a
    bug in phabricator. And when you've got your answer (for example
    in IRC), put it in help pages to save others from going through
    this again in future. Mailing lists are a place to discuss (not to
    debug) and It's not very search-able either.

    About phabricator. Don't worry to be wrong. Worst case scenario,
    it'll be marked as invalid but better people gets the ping instead
    of everyone in this mailing list (given that you add proper projects).

        @Amir:

        Thanks for your reply! It is not really a bug. Things are
        working fine, it is /my/ knowledge that was lacking.

        I would ask on IRC except IRC records are not really easy to
        search. I thought the records of this thread email might help
        someone like me in the future.

        @Maximilian:

        That solved my problem. Is the source code of this "take"
        script somewhere public? I wonder how it works.

                Hi,

                My account on WMFLabs servers is huji and it is in
                tools.huji group. I have a file under a subdirectory
                of /data/project/huji/ which is stuck in the
                ownership of huji:tools.huji and has chmod 770:

                <image.png>

                When I run /chown tools.huji:tools.huji stats.py/
                while I am logged in as huji, it gives me a
                permissions error. When I do "become huji" and then
                run the same chown command as huji.tools, I get the
                exact same error.

                When I try /sudo chown tools.huji:tools.huji file/ as
                either huji or tools.huji, I get asked a password. I
                don't think my account is a sudoer.

                Can someone please help me correct this situation?
                (As in, teach me how to correct it myself, rather
                than fix it for me, unless there is no way for me to
                fix it).

                Thanks,

                Huji
