Thanks for the info. MakeBot, MakeSysop and UsernameBlacklist have been tagged OBSOLETE long or at least a while ago. They will indeed be removed from trunk after 1.16 is branched. There's an open bug on ExtensionDistributor (16424) that prevents extensions from being downloaded through it if they are no longer in trunk. Would be nice if someone would be able to fix that - not a blocker, though.
The past few releases, extensions that were obsolete have been tagged OBSOLETE with a file in svn explaining why it was obsolete. The tagged extensions were removed after branching. Appears to have worked well. This is the current list: ./BoardVote/OBSOLETE ./freenodeChat/OBSOLETE ./Lockout/OBSOLETE ./Makebot/OBSOLETE ./Makesysop/OBSOLETE ./Mibbit/OBSOLETE ./Review/OBSOLETE ./UsernameBlacklist/OBSOLETE ./wikiwyg/OBSOLETE Cheers!

How are we dealing with obsolete extensions? Just deleting the folder on trunk? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
