[Wikitech-l] Minding pull-requests on GitHub
I just stumbled across https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/pull/19, a small but useful contribution to core from an HHVM developer. It has gone unnoticed for two months, which is a bit sad. Is there a way to accept pull-requests from GitHub? According to https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/settings/hooks (may not be visible to non-Wikimedians, sorry), the WebHook receiver http://tools.wmflabs.org/suchaserver/cgi-bin/receiver.py is defunct. Anyone know the story there? It'd be good if some additional people were watching (that is, receiving notifications for) https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/. I haven't responded yet, by the way, so feel free to if you know the answers to these questions. I don't know what effect accepting the pull-request will have on the code in master, and telling someone who has already submitted a patch to go sign up for Gerrit seems impolite.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Minding pull-requests on GitHub
It is possible to copy the pull request to Gerrit easily: paste the contents of https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/pull/19.patch into https://tools.wmflabs.org/gerrit-patch-uploader/ and bonk the button. This is of course a one-time, one-way synchronisation. YuviPanda used to have a bot that provided two-way synchronisation between Gerrit changesets and GitHub pull requests, but I haven't seen it used recently and I don't know where to find the source code or anything. -- Matma Rex ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

In this case, the developer was replied to by Krenair in a second PR they opened for the same issue, so at least they weren't ignored, just looks like the first PR wasn't closed along with the second one: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/pull/20 The code for Yuvi's SuchABot is here: https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/labs%2Ftools%2FSuchABot.git Cheers, grunny ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

As for notifications just turn the IRC hook on an point it at wikimedia-dev for the repos?

[Wikitech-l] Config class and 1.23
Should the Config and GlobalConfig classes and the associated RequestContext methods be reverted from 1.23 as an incomplete feature? As far as I can tell, it is not yet used anywhere, so reverting it should be easy. getConfig() was added to IContextSource in 101a2a160b05[1]. Then the method was changed to return a new class of object (Config) instead of a SiteConfiguration object in fbfe789b987b[2]; however, the Config class faces significant changes in I5a5857fc[3].

[Wikitech-l] Subscribe to Tech News via a web feed
Hi! Just dropping a short note that it is now finally possible to subscribe to the weekly Tech News bulletin[1] via a web feed to ensure a smooth, hassle-free delivery of every issue to a news aggregator of your choice. You can subscribe to an Atom[2] or RSS[3] feed, which should deliver a new issue at 00:00 UTC every Monday. At this point, the feed only provides the English version of the bulletin, so you'll need to click one of the links on top of the page to read a version in a different language — if you think that a per-language feed is a good idea, please let us know! The feed is now also subscribed to the English Planet Wikimedia[4], so if you get your Wikimedia news that way, you'll also see a new issue of Tech News on the Planet every Monday.

Hey, Is there some kind of description of the responsibility of the context source stuff anywhere? And the design vision behind it?

As far as I can tell, it is not yet used anywhere, so reverting it should be easy. The implementation in core right now is incomplete. Once [3] is merged though, it should be suitable for people to start using it, and I know Reedy had a patch that converted all of the API modules in core to use it. I would like to have Config make it into 1.23, mainly since it's an LTS, which would allow more extensions to take advantage of it without breaking backwards-compatability. I was actually working on [3] last night and just updated the patchset, which should address the concerns the reviewers had. But if we're not able to get it merged in time for the 1.23 release, then I would recommend reverting the current implementation out of the release branch.

[Wikitech-l] Retrospective on Typography Refresh
Hi all, Typography Refresh was one of the first batch of Beta Features launched last November. It's also now the first Beta Feature that was removed and then deployed in core. You'll probably have noticed the many threads about it on Wikitech in the past. ;-) While this might not have been a particularly large technical change (it's mostly just some tweaks to the Vector Less styles in core) we wanted to publicly share notes from the team about it. The purpose of a retrospective is to focus on concrete actions we can take to ensure good process. Hopefully we have learned some lessons that could help other beta features testing/release go smoothly. Notes are up at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh/Retrospective if you're interested. Since these reflect the feelings of the team working on it, I'd like to ask that you first add questions and comments on the Talk page, rather than directly to the document.
