[jira] Commented: (INFRA-1110) upgrade moin installation to latest version

["Justin Mason (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1110?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12464736 ] 

Justin Mason commented on INFRA-1110:
-------------------------------------

I wrote one of the changes (some code to make it more cache-friendly), and submitted the code upstream:

http://taint.org/xfer/2005/moin-cache-friendly.diff
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinPatch/CachingProxies

as the latter page notes, Joshua added more code:

http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinPatch?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=vary-cookie.diff

those patches *were* applied, but it looks like it got backed out again :(

http://hg.thinkmo.de/moin/1.5?cs=f0ef5aee12fb

http://taint.org/wk/SoftwarePatches also contains a patch to Moin 1.5.1 which sends commit mails on each change, similar to how it's done in the ASF.  (IIRC, I forward-ported the ASF patch to implement this on my own Moin 1.5.1 wikis.)

Looks like that hasn't been applied.

> Looks like it's time to upgrade our moin installation .
> Justin seems to think we're running a modified 1.3 version,
> and the changes documented between that and 1.5 are 
> fairly significant.
> In the latest version they replaced the chmod calls with
> a call to umask, which i believe will correct the backup
> problems we're seeing currently.  Also it is mentioned
> that they've fixed a problem with the old wikifarm stuff
> not supporting more than 100 concurrent wikis, and
> we're closing in on that mark with over 70 wikis now.
> Would be good to start by getting a feel of where the 
> current wiki stands in terms of custom mods, and see if we
> can figure out which ones have been incorporated upstream,
> and of the ones that haven't been picked up, which are still essential.
