Wikimedia Release Engineering Team/Local Dev Sync/2019-12-12

Action items from last time:     

• Status on mw/core dev setup. What needs to be done?
  • In progress Spend time looking at / trying kosta's POC https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/550708
  • TODO: Need a dev image that doesn't expect blubber
  • Decision: We should use WMF's apt packages for PHP/Apache/MariaDB rather than build our own image layer for this (or someone else's).
  • Do we want to run MW in a container? Yes.
  • Next steps:
    • Talk to Kosta, tell him we're going to work on this for the next Q. Decide with him if we're replacing his patchset or extending.
    • Brennen: Build the temporary base image using Wikimedia's apt packages.
