Dear list members, I am pleased to announce the release of WP-MIRROR 0.6.
The main design objective was this: PERFORMANCE. WP-MIRROR 0.6 now builds the `enwiki' (which is the most demanding case) with 80% less time and 75% less memory than v0.5. Feature: One new feature was added. WP-MIRROR 0.6 can now mirror wikis from most other WMF projects (e.g. wikibooks, wiktionary, etc). Reliability: Downloads are now performed with the aid of `wget' which has an automatic restart feature. This virtually eliminates the problem of partial downloads. Images: WP-MIRROR 0.6 makes use of image dump tarballs found at <http://ftpmirror.your.org/>. WP-MIRROR 0.6 then does a thorough job of identifying image files missing from the tarballs, and downloads them efficiently using HTTP/1.1 persistent connections. Packaging: The DEB package for WP-MIRROR 0.6 should work `out-of-the-box' with no user configuration for the following distributions: o Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (wheezy) o Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) Virtual Hosts: Browsing of mirrored wikis is done via virtual hosts with names like <http://simple.wikipedia.site/> and <http://simple.wiktionary.site/>. Simply take the URL that WMF offers, and replace `.org' with `.site'. Project Home Page: <http://www.nongnu.org/wp-mirror/> has been updated. Feedback is welcome. Sincerely Yours, Dr. Kent L. Miller _______________________________________________ Xmldatadumps-l mailing list Xmldatadumps-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/xmldatadumps-l
