--- Comment #11 from Jarry1250 <[email protected]> 2012-10-29 00:43:40 UTC --- (In reply to comment #10) > A revert of a particular commit does not roll back the entire MediaWiki > platform to an earlier point in time, and is therefore not trivially safe to > deploy. I don't follow. MediaWiki was a constant here. Let's assume the previous version of the EventLogger was known to be good (or rather known to not be as bad). Then I would infer that rolling back was both trivial and relatively safe.* For MediaWiki as a whole, maybe not, but as we know we *want* to be at a point where rolling back is not a big deal, even if we're not there yet. > The testing story does get better, though -- the TestSwarm setup integrates > with both QUnit and Jenkins to automate the execution of test suites across a > spectrum of browsers. It would have flagged this particular problem. Yay :) -- * It occurs to me that I am yet to see an actual revert done on the production cluster directly, rather than reverting in the repo and then deploying a new master. So I could be wrong here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
