Held at the Cambridge Community Center. We'll request a table this year. If we're not approved, we should run a camera mapping event around the conference site. <br /> <br /> USPP Issues<br /> <br /> * Florida has raised complaints about Maryland. The USPP is sorting this out.<br /> * Fellow named Jacob Anderson - looking for a national endorsement. National will vote on this later tonight.<br /> <br /> Ballot Questions<br /> <br /> * There are nine ballot questions this year. https://ballotpedia.org/Massachusetts_2026_ballot_measures<br /> * Question 1, https://ballotpedia.org/Massachusetts_Question_1,_Public_Records_Requirements_for_Legislature_and_Governor%E2%80%99s_Office_Initiative_(2026). Would make documents held by the governor's office and legislature subject to open meeting law.<br /> * Question 2, https://ballotpedia.org/Massachusetts_Question_2,_Permit_Collective_Bargaining_for_Committee_for_Public_Counsel_Services_Employees_Initiative_(2026).

Srevilak https://masspirates.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_upgrade_mediawiki&diff=10009 2026-07-03T19:29:28Z

<p>Srevilak: /* Running Maintainance Scripts */</p> <hr /> <div>= Background =<br /> <br /> Our wiki installation is cloned from mediawiki's git repository.<br /> Mediawiki has branches for each release; we have branches that track<br /> mediawiki branches.<br /> <br /> In general, the Masspirates mediawiki is the standard mediawiki<br /> distribution, plus a couple of commits (for changes to<br /> LocalSettings.php and such).<br /> <br /> For example:<br /> <br /> $ git status<br /> On branch mapp-1.28<br /> Your branch is ahead of 'origin/REL1_28' by 2 commits.<br /> (use &quot;git push&quot; to publish your local commits)<br /> <br /> $ git branch<br /> * mapp-1.28<br /> master<br /> <br /> Above, mapp-1.28 is based on mediawiki's REL1_28 branch, and there are a<br /> few changes on top. Upgrading follows one of two procedures:<br /> <br /> # Pulling in changes from the same branch. In this case, just rebase<br /> # Switching to a new branch. Here, we want to make a new (local) branch off the new upstream release, and cherry pick<br /> <br /> That's the overview. I'll go into more detail below.<br /> <br /> = The Upgrade Process =<br /> <br /> With that said, the upgrade involves five steps.<br /> <br /> # Backup the database<br /> # upgrade code<br /> # update composer's dependencies<br /> # run maintenance/update.php<br /> # resolve any changes to configuration variables<br /> # update skins<br /> <br /> We'll go through these steps one at a time<br /> <br /> == Database Backup ==<br /> <br /> mysqldump --verbose -uUSER -pPASSWD --complete-insert=1 DBNAME | gzip -9 &gt; masspira_mdw1.$(date +%F).sql.gz<br /> mv *.sql.gz backup<br /> <br /> == Update Code ==<br /> <br /> === Rebasing from the same branch ===<br /> <br /> git status # should be no outstanding changes<br /> git remote update<br /> git rebase origin/REL1_28<br /> <br /> Above, substitute &quot;origin/REL1_28&quot; with the actual upstream branch.<br /> <br /> Having done this, <br /> <br /> git log --oneline origin/REL1_28..HEAD<br /> <br /> lists the local changes we've made.<br /> <br /> === Switching to a new Release branch ===<br /> <br /> The general gist<br /> <br /> # identify changes you've made on the current branch<br /> # create a local branch, to mirror one of the mediawiki release branch<br /> # cherry pick local changes made on the old branch.<br /> <br /> == Update composer dependencies ==<br /> <br /> $ ~/bin/composer.phar self-update<br /> $ ~/bin/composer.phar update<br /> <br /> Note: if composer is too old, it may be necessary to remove and reinstall it.<br /> <br /> == Running Maintainance Scripts ==<br /> <br /> $ php maintenance/run.php update<br /> <br /> The update may fail with an error message like this:<br /> <br /> Error: MySQL 5.7.0 or later is required. You have 5.5.30.<br /> <br /> Workaround:<br /> * log in to the hosting provider's control panel.<br /> * Under &quot;MySQL database&quot; section, find the DataBase host for the site<br /> * set &quot;$wgDBserver&quot; to this hostname, but change the &quot;.org&quot; to &quot;.cx&quot;<br /> * perform the upgrade<br /> * restore the original value for $wgDBserver<br /> <br /> == Resolving Changes to Configuration Variables ==<br /> <br /> For this step, look at the &quot;UPGRADE&quot; and &quot;RELEASE-NOTES&quot; files in<br /> mediawiki's root directory. It's a good idea to look through these<br /> files anyway, to see what changes are in the new release.<br /> <br /> == Update Skins ==<br /> <br /> We use the Monobook skin, which was git cloned from a separate repository than the main mediawiki distribution. It's a submodule that has to be upgraded separately.<br /> <br /> cd skins/MonoBook<br /> git fetch origin<br /> git rebase origin/master<br /> <br /> Then, commit the submodule changes<br /> <br /> cd ..<br /> git add MonoBook<br /> git commit</div>
