Deployment Cabal

edit
Main: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/349/

  • Use scap to deploy AQS on Beta Cluster
  • Security blah


CI Scaling

edit
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/1010/
Quarterly Goal: "CI cluster responds to spike in queued builds by starting and registering additional jenkins slaves" - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111106
  • Paladox Whitelisted!
  • Bitrotting extensions :-/
    • https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115262 (created, never used)
    • Let's send an email to wikitech-l?
    • cognitive and technical overhead
    • If it is still working keep it!
    • Challenge is finding broken extensions, that we should archives

Nodepool migration status:

  • Python jobs almost all migrated to Nodepool
  • Ruby / Bundler:
    • Nodepool instances ready
    • Agreed on using rake. Test target is mediawiki/vagrant
  • JavaScript / Npm:
    • Puppetization ongoing. Nodepool instance to be ready this week
    • Jobs to follow
  • PHP / Composer and rest of MediaWiki
    • On hold
  • Splitting Zuul gate queues.
    • Probably want to hack Zuul. Kunal has a patch pending
    • Gotta upgrade Zuul

Phabricator/Diff[usion|erential] migration

edit
Gitblit-Deprecate: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/46/
Quarterly Goal: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111465
Gerrit-Migration: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/9/
  • scap usage
    • Chad has picked up odd behaviors from Gerrit :)

arc land seems to be rewriting the commit's author field. Apparently this alternative method of landing a patch preserves the author:

arc patch --nobranch D9 git push arc close-revision D9

Release MediaWiki 1.26

edit
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/1177/
  • Should we get all bundled extensions to be migrated to extension.json ?
    • Chad: Good idea :)

    • + test entry point npm/composer
    • + banana l10n lint
    • Chad: working on release stuff this week
  • Date?
