Bug #: 28956
Summary: Dumps should be incremental
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Downloads
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I'm a user who wants to have a complete dump of English Wikipedia (or any other
large wiki-project).
I could download a complete dump every time one was made, but that would be a
lot of bandwidth to use to re-download mostly the same fileset, and it'd be
expensive for both me and the Wikimedia Foundation.
The easiest solution to this that I (in my total ignorance) can see is having a
base archive, and releasing diff archives after that that just have the
changed/added files (like a duplicity backup). These incremental archives would
be a small fraction of the total dump in terms of space and bandwidth, and
would make keeping a dump current much easier.
