Notes

The main wiki

/srv/www-sugarlabs/wiki/ 

Except for trivial changes, work on the wiki should be carried on in the wiki-devel instance, then moved to wiki-testing for feedback before putting it into the production instance.

Sometimes the devel and testing instances contain interim work performed by various wiki helpers. Do not sync changes blindly to the production wiki!

Upgrade notes

Our Mediawiki instances are installed from Subversion. We update them by simply switching to a different stable branch.

Because the "extensions" directory comes from a different repository, we need to take care not to confuse Subversion's little mind when it sees it. Hence, we keep around a copy of the original extensions directory from the main repository.

mv extensions extensions.keep
mv extensions.orig extensions
svn switch http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_16/phase3
mv extensions extensions.orig
mv extensions.new extensions
cd extensions
svn switch http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_16/extensions
cd ..

Now run update scripts:

cd maintenance
php update.php

If the SemanticMediaWiki extension is enabled (we don't use it), also refresh its tables:

cd extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance
php SMW_setup.php
