One question: in the https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/operations/dumps/test.git repository there are two branches, "master" and "ariel" and the README me says we should use "ariel". "master" however see to be also attached to a gerrit project I was able to check it out using ssh://[email protected]/operations/dumps/test.git port 29418 Which shall we use? It seems that I can propose patches using gerrit only to "master" while "ariel" seems to be a bit more active. Second thing - I was fixing recently few nuts and bolts for seamless PostgreSQL support, so I'd love to have that for PostgreSQL too. Once I sort out outstanding installer/updater issues I am willing to help, of course. We already ran a PostgreSQL testsuite on jenkins and I think we should check dumps too. //Saper _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
