==Finding tags and branches==
  
===Comparing 1.20 git-extensions with 1.18 and above, Nov. 2012===
+
HINT: to see available branches/tags:
''' Local SVN are now in same folder as git checkout = OK'''
+
 
+
'''Manually copied''' i.e. now available in the 1.20git extension folder:
+
* SMWAskAPI - only installed on offene-naturfuehrer = OK
+
 
+
'''Missing but no longer used = OK'''
+
* AddMediaWizard (no longer found by find/grep)
+
* ArrayExtension replaced by extension: Arrays (all seem to be updated)
+
* SyntaxHighlight (no longer used, all occurrences refer to SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi)
+
 
+
'''Missing, now disabled in common/local settings = OK'''
+
* Disabling MassEditRegex - Installed on all wikis, but not used because the currently installed version (r4) is not compatible with MediaWiki 1.18. We have tested this extension on 1.19 where it works. For some wikis this extension would be very useful.
+
* Disabling MathStatFunctions - probably never used.
+
* Disabling DynamicPageList - only installed 4 wiki, was deprecated a long time; all pages checked and function removed.
+
* Disabling '''FileAttach:''' Used only as testing in testwikis, now removed there.
+
 
+
 
+
''' THE FOLLOWING probably may have to be disabled when migrating:'''
+
* MultipleUpload (also called MultiUpload) - only installed on OpenMedia, KeytoNature and OroWiki
+
* jQueryMsg - installed on all wikis, but obsolete in v.1.20!!
+
** http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Conversion/Extensions_still_in_svn says "jQueryMsg - Abandoned - Available in Core"

==Installing mediawiki from git (1.20 and later)==
+
 
+
Main source: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git mediawiki.org: Download from Git]. See also [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/ overview of wikimedia projects in Git].
+
 
+
'''IMPORTANT CHANGE in comparison to earlier subversion setup: we directly clone all extensions into the /extension folder, instead of cloning elsewhere and then symlinking.'''
+
 
+
: Memo: use "git tag -l | sort -V" um tags sortiert anzuzeigen
+
 
+
===First installation only: Create normal git-clone===
+
 
+
A biowikifarm git clone is updated Core and extensions are exported by a tar archive export out of a git clone. (HINT: before starting the script do a sudo command, e.g. <code>sudo ls</code> so the bash prompt knows your password and you don't have to give your password over and over again)
+
 
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" style="font-size:105%">
+
# 1. FIRST create a biowikifarm git-clone (non-bare) for mediawiki-core and mw-extensions (submodules):
+
  cd /usr/share; sudo mkdir mw-wmf-clone; cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone
+
  sudo git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git core
+
  sudo git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions.git extensions
+
  cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions; sudo git submodule update --init --recursive
+
  # Note: with after init, one can use "git foreach". Example:
+
  #  git submodule foreach 'echo $path `git rev-parse HEAD`'
+
  #  will show the path and currently checked out commit for each submodule.
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
===Update git and export versions to folders===
+
 
+
This works for creating the first version as well as updating.
+
 
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" style="font-size:105%;border-left:1px solid gray;padding-left:1em;">
+
# 1. Update LOCAL-git core and extensions from WMF-git:
+
cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/core; sudo git fetch; cd ../extensions; sudo git pull; sudo git submodule update --init --recursive;
+
 
+
# 2. now we export (git archive) a specific MediaWiki versions into other folders:
+
  sudo mkdir /usr/share/mw1.20
+
  cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/core
+
  sudo git archive 1.20.2 | sudo tar --extract --overwrite --directory=/usr/share/mw1.20
+
  # Note: tar provides a "--recursive-unlink" option for extract, which removes the content of the target folder
+
  #  However, our mediawiki installations require many additional files (svn, widget-right changes, smarty, commons-bot)
+
  #  which would have to be manually restored. Therefore, do not use --recursive-unlink
+
 
+
extpathto="/usr/share/mw1.20/extensions/"
+
extpathsrc="/usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions/"
+
# specify version control like this:

+
#"tags/1.8, SemanticMediaWiki" → version  1.8 + extension SemanticMediaWiki

Latest revision as of 06:05, 15 April 2013

The history of this page contains the details of the migration from mediawiki 1.18 svn to 1.20 git. The permanently relevant information has now been migrated to Mediawiki installation and Mediawiki maintenance.


How-to is here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git . Checking extensions: Which extensions previously obtained from WMF-Subversion (i.e. excluding those we have in local SVN) are Not in the following list of git-migrated mediawiki extensions? https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/

Useful resources for understanding git checkout, head, detached head, --track:

Finding tags and branches

HINT: to see available branches/tags:

 git branch -r | sort --version-sort
 git tag -l | sort --version-sort

OR: Example "Thanks" extension:
