[Wikitech-l] New location for configuring Wikimedia production extensions and skins

[Mukunda Modell]

Hey everyone,

TL;DR: We've moved the list of which extensions + skins are included in
Wikimedia production branches. make-wmf-branch has been removed and
branching is now configured in make-release.

As part of the modernisation work for the way MediaWiki code is deployed
into Wikimedia production, we have consolidated the code for making the
weekly "train" cut with that for making release branches of MediaWiki.[0]
This means that the specific configuration file now has a different
location and format.[1]

This will only affect you if you are involved in helping us add new
extensions for production deployment (once they've gone through the full
process),[2] or if you own a tool that tries to monitor Wikimedia
production deployments.

Thank you!

Not easily, but this is a list of all extensions known to gerrit

(860 of them), and this is LibraryUpgrader's list of repos it knows about
that have CodeSniffer installed

(543 extension repos), so anything listed in the first but not the second
would be a place to start.

Note that a handful of extensions use WMDE's fork of CodeSniffer
,
and some repo owners might intentionally not want to align to Wikimedia
coding standards, for whatever reason.

[Wikitech-l] Mediawiki codesniffer usage

[Zoran Dori]

Hello,
I have a question. Is anywhere available list of extensions which don't
have mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer?

[Wikitech-l] Phabricator #security => acl*security

[Chase Pettet]

A small note that the Security
 tag within Phabricator is
now separate from the ACL object
.

Do not use #Security as an ACL object. This is the outcome of T244165
.  This mirrors the convention
for #operations and #acl*operations as expected allowing everyone to join
and watch #security related objects on equal footing.  Though not everyone
will see the same objects depending on membership in acl*security, there
are many issues related to security which are not hidden or protected.

Best,

[Wikitech-l] MediaWiki 1.35.0 development branch point is coming soon (7 April 2020)

[James Forrester]

All,

Just a friendly heads-up that the branch point for MediaWiki 1.35.0 is
coming up faster than you expect; we're currently on 1.35.0-wmf.20, and
1.35.0-wmf.7 (in seven weeks' time, *i.e.* on 7 April 2020) will be the
final alpha of 1.35, and thus where I cut REL1_35 ahead of rc.0.[0]

There are a lot of proposed blockers to the 1.35 release currently tagged
on Phabricator[1] (and no doubt some of you have vague plans but don't have
them marked out yet). Please do get them done, or re-assess the timeline
for your work, and don't get caught out!

Thanks!
