It assumes that the mediawiki folder is a checkout from mediawiki svn and will update it to the specified revision. I don't see how it would update to that revision folders of a different svn server. > Hoi, > This script assumes that you have the same software as is running on the > Wikimedia servers. > Also it is assumed that the underlying software is the same as well (think > LAMP).

Live hacks are a much bigger issue IMHO. They aren't even available so reusers can't see what is the really running code (supposed they tried to run trunk but found a patched bug!). > Given that this is > not handled by Werdna's software it is a scenario that is not without its > dangers. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
