[00:13:22] bd808: We granted extensions to projects with admins who asked for extensions -- as far as I know we've gotten 0 response from Huggle admins. [00:13:40] andrewbogott: agreed [00:13:46] So... we're back to the classic question of what to do with abandoned but essential projects. [00:13:54] also agreed [00:14:28] there is some sign that petan started to build a replacement, but it's not ready for use as far as I could tell. [00:14:50] This feels like a more maintainers needed thing for sure [00:15:13] iirc huggle is mono and c# right? So it might be hard to find folks [00:15:40] but that email to wikitech-l seems to have gotten some help for signwriting so we could try that again [00:17:05] yeah, I pinged komla on T306076. Maybe he and I can do a bit of work to see if we can get petan to ask for co-maintainers. [00:17:06] T306076: Cloud VPS "huggle" project Stretch deprecation - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T306076 [00:17:52] ok [00:19:27] semi-ironically, this VM exists to proxy EventStreams because petan wanted to work with xml instead of json. if Huggle used the json service directly petan wouldn't need to run this vm. [00:19:53] there's probably a bit more too it than that though [00:20:22] oh right, WebSocket... yeah. [00:20:30] * bd808 is reading https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/XmlRcs [00:22:42] andrewbogott: you can definately make a note that says "Blame bd808" to show everyone if this instance lingers. I made the decision to turn it back on rather than let the outage put more pressure on petan. [00:25:21] If petan isn't reading email then 'pressure' may not be a useful concept :) [00:26:17] We can send andre__ across town to slip a note under his door... [00:36:15] not the worst idea [15:28:25] * PotsdamLamb 👋 morning ya'll [18:27:53] anyone around? quick question. to run my script on the test server, what is the language code for it? I know en is english, simple is simple wikipedia. when I use test it says it is invalid [21:34:50] PotsdamLamb: how is the script accessing the wikis? which library / framework? [21:35:29] (I’m not a fan of splitting wikis into “project” and “language” in general – for exactly the reason you’ve encountered – so in the libraries I tend to use, I’d normally just enter `test.wikipedia.org` as a full domain name) [21:36:15] on https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=sitematrix&formatversion=2, test.wikipedia.org (dbname testwiki) has the lang “en”, so if “test” doesn’t work then I’m not sure what else would work tbh :/ [21:38:04] I don't have permissions on the test server so I just used my home wiki. I only have one issue to solve, wish I could solve both to save time but don't see that happening [21:39:16] @lucaswerkmeister [22:03:15] testwiki is ("test", "wikipedia") [22:08:58] I tried that AC and it didn't work then it said I do not have permissions so I gave up I am testing on simple under my space only which is authorized without the bot flag [22:09:17] I found a work around for one issue, now I just have the other issue to fix
