--- Comment #2 from Antoine "hashar" Musso <[email protected]> ---
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/135429/ added a warning message whenever an
old skin is found under Mediawiki /skins/ . The skins have been removed from
core but are still present in Jenkins workspace.

The reason is that since mediawiki/core.git is so huge to clone, we are using
git archive to grab a snapshot of MediaWiki in the Jenkins job workspace.  A
side effect is that files removed from the repository are not removed from the
workspace.


A potential way to solve it would be to have mediawiki core in a dedicated
directory which we would be able to delete recursively before taking a snapshot
with git archive.  From there we could symlink extensions from their dedicated
directories under mediawiki /extensions/ .

I also have an ongoing project to clone multiple repositories which might let
us solve the issue.

Meanwhile my recommendation is to revert the deprecation patch (
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/135429/ ) until CI has catched up and ensure
MediaWiki code base is clean in the Jenkins workspaces.
