Summary: Importing (transwiki) only the top revision should
succeed reliably
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Export/Import
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Currently importing only the top revision using transwiki import fails for no
good reason I can come up with - and in fact fails more often than it succeeds.
This shouldn't happen.
The reason importing many revisions fails, is: "The slow part is loading the
required data from external storage, but even if it sped it up by, say, 5
times, it would still time out because some transwiki jobs are just that big...
to transwiki a page it might have to load up hundreds of megabytes of data from
various hard drives - non-contiguous data, it'll have to seek." (Tim Starling)
- but that doesn't apply to fetching only one revision, I hope.
So, something must be going wrong here.
