--- Comment #2 from Brion Vibber <[email protected]> 2010-10-03 20:28:45 UTC --- Probably killable, especially if we've got good alternate directions for upgrading from a pre-1.5 install using 8-bit charset. Its original purpose was to do two things: * perform an "online" upgrade while the 1.4 setup continued to run in read-only mode, needed since updating the large Wikipedia sites took a long time * provide an upgrade path for 1.4 installs using 8-bit charsets (does reencoding of titles, comments, filenames etc, leaving the flags compatibility markers so text entries get recoded on the fly when loaded) -- needed since en.wikipedia and some of the other European languages were still on Latin-1 at that point. It's unlikely that Wikipedia-size 1.4 installs still remain in large quantity, and if there are that's their problem. ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
