Aha, OK. I tried running git pull and it gave me some weird indexing error.
If git-review works, though, then that's fine.

You can use a shallow clone to pull new changes. As far as committing, 'git 
review -s' will actually trigger fetching the entire history. So this way the 
bandwidth costs of pulling the entire history are deferred until you are ready 
to commit a patch, which shortens the time it takes to get a functional 
MediaWiki instance.

In the course of investigating this, I realized that the current version does 
not configure a remote, which is perhaps why git pull didn't work for you (if 
you tried it). I'll fix that.

Quick question. If I'm correct, Vagrant is supposed to be for setting up
development environments. Under this assumption, why is the mediawiki git
repository only fetched with a depth of 1? Isn't is pretty useless to have
a development VM you can't push or pull from?

This is already set up. Is it not working for you?

Installation of Xdebug is also already in, but not the IDE integration and URL 
trigger that you described to me the other day. I'll look into it. Tracking

phpunit is also already installed. A helper script for running unit tests from

Punting on this one. It'll be a headache to maintain. Adding the require_once( 
.. ) call by hand is not too much work, no?

OK, can do.

I'll look into making this easier.  

Vagrant provides hooks for plug-ins to add subcommands. Having a MediaWiki 
plug-in that allows a set of maintenance tasks to be run from the host sounds 
promising.

Yes, this should be handled better. Thanks for the report. Tracking it here:

Ori, thanks for the great dev environment :)

As mentioned in another email, I would like to have the following added to
default vagrant installation. Having default dev environment would allow us
to quickly get new developers up to speed almost without
any walk-through steps.

* redirect from / to /w/index.php
* xdebug to debug from host's IDE
* unit testing frameworks, and maybe even some scripts to run php and other
unit tests
* easy way to add extensions - menu driven would be nice, or at least git
clone and add the "required()" :)
* SQL access - either phpMyAdmin, or routing SQL ports to host's tools, or
both, or ...
* "reset" script to quickly restart apache/memcached/etc  (is it possible
to do it from host?)
* Direct root access to the client's file system from the host (in windows
-- \\precsie64\root\...)
* "php update.php" - is it possible to do it from host?  "vagrant mwupdate"
?

Thanks!!!

I tried it out on my Windows XP, and on `vagrant up` it promptly took all the 
1.5 GB of free space on disk C: and crashed (I purposefully keep my system 
partition small).

Is it possible to make it write the big files (the downloaded OS image and the 
virtual disk) into somewhere else than %userprofile%? I know VirtualBox can do 
that, as I have two VMs set up in this way.

I have tried it at two Mac machines, it worked without any problems.

This is awesome, I've used it as a total MediaWiki noob to poke around at
the internals.  One suggestion I'd have is to include a script that
populates some sample data in the db (pages, users, edits, etc.).  Does
anyone have such a thing, should we dump a particularly active test setup
from somewhere, or would we need to make something new?

[Wikitech-l] Try out MediaWiki Vagrant

2013-03-27 Thread Ori Livneh 
Vagrant is a command-line tool for automatically provisioning virtual machines 
according to scripted specifications. The mediawiki-vagrant project bundles 
together specifications for quickly and easily provisioning a virtual machine 
running MediaWiki, suitable for development work.

I announced it a few months ago, when I had something nominally useful to 
share. Some people found it useful, but it was something I had cobbled together 
in a hacky way as I was learning Vagrant, and I wasn't very happy with the end 
result. In the intervening months, I got a lot of useful suggestions, and 
became more proficient in writing Vagrant and Puppet configurations, so I 
decided to do things over.

There's a lot more work to do (better profiling tools!), but I think it works 
quite well now, so I would appreciate some testing and feedback from others.

Installation instructions are available here: 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Vagrant

I hope you check it out, and that you find it useful. Feedback would be much 
appreciated.

I'd also like to publicly thank Yurik for testing this extensively on Windows 
and providing detailed logs when things broke. Thanks, Yurik!
