Bug #: 42048
Summary: [[Special:Version]] does not have patch-deployment
information; gerrit link is broken.
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Git/Gerrit
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
(this is a twofer. the 2nd part is easy to understand and fix, but the real
issue is the first part....)
Special:Version contains version information, + patch-level.
e.g., at the time of this writing, enwiki shows "1.21wmf3".
however, there were several fixes (aka "patches") that were deployed since
1.21wmf3, and the there is no nice way to see which patches were deployed on
each individual wikimedia site.
this makes it cumbersome reporting status to the community: it is
understandable that it is difficult, and often impossible to report future
fix-deployment schedule, but we should be able to comfortably report
deployments that already occured.
there is a (oft broken) link to the *latest* gerrit patch, but even when the
link works, it's not good enough: we need access to the *list* of patches
deployed.
it would be even better to be able to list the bugzilla bugs that were fixed.
let's say the current deployment is "1.21wmf3 + 5 patches". there is a place to
see the content of 1.21wmf3, but there is no way to know what are the "5
patches".
as a side: often times, the link that appears in parenthesis after the version
is broken. for instance, the link at the time i write this report is:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/core.git;h=c20c4ad5d9de76c3d262dd73f491c5dde86a1f41
this link is 404.
peace.
