[Bug 32130] Unusable md5sums for the latest dumps
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32130 Zach zacharyhar...@hotmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||zacharyhar...@hotmail.com --- Comment #3 from Zach zacharyhar...@hotmail.com 2012-10-12 22:04:57 UTC --- (In reply to comment #2) However, the current bug is not about the dump folder structure, but about the mismatch between the file names from the folder and the file names from the md5sums file. This need to be fixed one way or the other, in order for the md5sums to be usable. There is another layer to the mismatch beyond the file naming pattern. If all of the LANG-latest-XXX files were renamed with the LANG-DATE-XXX format of the files they point to, then at least at certain times (early in the month?) we would see a mixture of LANG-DATE_IN_THIS_MONTH-XXX dumps and LANG-DATE_IN_LAST_MONTH-XXX dumps in /latest. However, until all dumps from this month have been completed, LANG-latest-md5sums.txt will point to LANG-DATE_IN_LAST_MONTH-md5sums.txt which will only contain the hashes from last month's dumps. In other words, the xml dumps in /latest roll over/update *individually* as soon as they are completed, but the md5sums file only updates when all dumps from that month have been completed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

If the latest folder links redirected to the long form, we wouldn't then find files with latest name which you don't know its timestamp. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32130 --- Comment #2 from crangasi2...@yahoo.com 2011-11-01 22:08:28 UTC --- The latest keyword allows for simple downloading scripts. For my usage, I don't care one bit about the actual date of the dump. I just want to download it, extract and apply it. If the archive is actually the latest, i'm ok with that. However, the current bug is not about the dump folder structure, but about the mismatch between the file names from the folder and the file names from the md5sums file. This need to be fixed one way or the other, in order for the md5sums to be usable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
