Team standups
[edit]- email?
- IRC?
Bug escalation
[edit]- bugzilla:58157 - "IndexPager::buildQueryInfo" database query error when selecting namespace on Special:Contributions
- pinged sean
- Parsoid is blocking gerrit:99792 (long-standing bug where multiple reflist templates in a page has caching issues) and followups gerrit:99793 and gerrit:99794. How can we get them to unblock?
Search
[edit]- So many deployments last few weeks….. Just finished first pass of commons.
- Some concern around Job Queue length.
- Capacity planning numbers looking good. 54% of updates, 43% of pages.
DevOps / Performance
[edit]- Travis CI runs MediaWiki unit tests with HHVM on each commit:
<https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/mediawiki-core>. (Only) two failures!
- Apt now uses upstream LogStash packages (Faidon). Needs initiative.
- Requests:
- Make ProfilerSimple.php not collate statistics. Will allow us to track variance, not just means. - Add getModules() method to MediaTransformOutput or MediaHandler interface, allowing handlers to specify JavaScript and CSS that should be loaded to support media contents on the page.
- “release early”: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Greg_(WMF)/dev_deploy_flow
- Random performance-related patch that could use review: gerrit:101490 -- Ori will review!
Beta / CI
[edit]Antoine is out this week
Puppet installed PHP packages and then required a service restart (apache on one machine, mw-job-runner on another). Alexandros pushed out a change that required this.
Security
[edit]- 1.22.1 moved to Jan 13th (at M&M’s request)
Scholarships
