[Wikitech-l] REMINDER: No deploys next week (week of Sept 26th)

Due to the Wikimedia Technical Operations Team having their team offsite that week and generally being less than normally available there will be no non-emergency deploys the week of September 26th (aka: next week). See also: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Week_of_September_26th

Re: [Wikitech-l] Opening up MediaWiki dev summit in January?

Robla and I are trying to nail down the main topics that will bootstrap the Summit in the next days. Please join the discussion until we make a decision (and beyond if you wish, of course): https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Tb6bztglijowk8x3 Remember that at least 50% of time and space will be

> How far ahead of time must entries be added? I trust most people's best judgement here :) But, as soon as you have an idea of when you'll do it is the best time to do it. Obviously if the task will impact others and/or require no other deploys at the same time that should be scheduled further

Re: [Wikitech-l] Wikis paused at 1.28.0-wmf.18 (was: Re: Upgrade of 1.28.0-wmf.19 to group 1 is on hold)

I have cut 1.28.0-wmf.20[0] for MediaWiki and extensions as the branch cut was blocking merges to master for developers. The state of deployed code has not changed – all wikis are running the 1.28.0-wmf.18 branch of MediaWiki and extensions. Plans for moving forward are still being discussed on

Re: [Wikitech-l] Wikis paused at 1.28.0-wmf.18 (was: Re: Upgrade of 1.28.0-wmf.19 to group 1 is on hold)

[Wikitech-l] Wikis paused at 1.28.0-wmf.18 (was: Re: Upgrade of 1.28.0-wmf.19 to group 1 is on hold)

tl;dr: All wikis are staying at 1.28.0-wmf.18 for now Last week all wikis were rolled back to MediaWiki version 1.28.0-wmf.18 due to several problems that were spotted on Friday (2016-09-16)[0][1]. The problems with wmf.19 seemed resolved by Monday (2016-09-19). The plan was to roll wmf.19 out
