https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49057 --- Comment #12 from Matthew Flaschen mflasc...@wikimedia.org --- Quim, the script for bug 61060 is merged. Ori has USB drives. He is in the process of generating an ISO file containing all the resources mentioned in that bug. He will then ask WMF IT to burn/copy the image onto USB drives, and bring the USB drives to Zürich. This tracking bug will remain for now, since there is broader scope possible (e.g. making one-click installers that install all dependencies, do the clones from the bundles, etc.). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49057 --- Comment #8 from Matthew Flaschen mflasc...@wikimedia.org --- (In reply to Nemo from comment #7) Hm, hackathon is approaching quickly, is this considered important for its success or just a nice to have? Yes, it's important, and I will definitely be doing bug 61060 before the Zürich Hackathon. Based on my latest personal experience with MWV (https://www.mediawiki.org/?diff=912744oldid=889141), I wonder if network and file fetch is really the bottleneck or once we solve it we'll find worse problems, like the 2 hours required for the initial puppet run in the first vagrant up. Yes, most of the time is used in downloading. For instance, generally most of the Puppet time is used for downloading the entire MediaWiki core git repository (with all history). That is one of the files I will be bundling with bug 61060. Perhaps it's easier to use remote virtual servers instead? They have better network, usually better CPU, and most importantly can even be set up in advance. Then the hackers only have to learn keys and ssh (which they have anyway) and they can still use their local text editors and whatever via their [[KIOslaves]] or equivalent if that's a problem. This is worth investigating/trying, but I won't be looking at it before Zürich. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49057 --- Comment #4 from Matthew Flaschen mflasc...@wikimedia.org --- We had a meeting about building a more production-like Vagrant setup. One of the subtopics was how to make it easier to distribute and setup Vagrant to help get new contributors at hackathons and such. A few ideas were: * (Bryan Davis) Have a network server to distribute all the installers * Distribute USB drives so people don't need to use the network at all. * LiveCD for running Vagrant (but people don't want to use a LiveCD long-term, so this doesn't solve the problem of integrating it into your normal daily workflow) I think we should consider the following: 1. Write script to build some kind of directory of MWV-related files. This could include: * VirtualBox for various platforms * Vagrant for various platforms * Ubuntu base box * More sophisticated (suggested by Yuvi): install script or package (e.g. DMG) that sets up more than one package at a time. 2. Building a LiveCD or LiveDVD (and script for generating it) that can just be booted to launch a network server (NFS and/or SMB) distributing the MWV-related files. This can be shared on a LAN to save people using scarce Internet. 3. Building a USB drive with the MWV-related files. I'm going to make a bug for #1. If people agree both #2 and #3 are worth doing, I'll make bugs for those as well. The alternative is to pick just #2 *or* #3 to focus on for now. With #2 or #3, the same directory should be usable in both cases. Another question is whether to put the build scripts in the main Vagrant repo, or set up a new one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
