Deployment tooling / RelEng
[edit]- Quarterly Review on the 30th, ie Wednesday
- There is now a slave db replicating into beta cluster (thanks Reedy)
- Bryan is working on killing the .git dir sync / fixing Special:Version for extensions
- This is a blocker to trebuchet or other sync methods that mess with .git from the stage server to the cluster

- Switching group0 wikis to new highlighter Tuesday
- Swift plugin complete, deploying to Central/Archiva/etc this evening
