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
