Mediawiki Upgrades
==================
Two versions of Mediawiki are installed with one being the active
install and the other being previously used version kept as a backup.
The two installs can be found at ``/srv/mediawiki/slot0`` and
``/srv/mediawiki/slot1``. The ``/srv/mediawiki/w`` symlink refers to
active Mediawiki install slot. To perform a Mediawiki upgrade:
#. Determine which install slot is active ``ls -l /srv/mediawiki/w``.
Once this value is known do not use ``/srv/mediawiki/w`` in your
commands, doing so will break the git submodules. Always use
specific slot paths eg ``/srv/mediawiki/slot0``.
#. Fetch the latest git content in the inactive slot
``cd /srv/mediawiki/$INACTIVE_SLOT && git fetch``.
#. Find the latest Wikimedia Foundation branch ``git branch -a``.
Make sure this version matches
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version we don't want to
upgrade until that upstream is running the latest version.
#. Create and checkout a local tracking branch for the latest upstream
branch ``git checkout -b wmf/1.22wmf11 origin/wmf/1.22wmf11``.
#. Update the git submodules for this new branch
``git submodule update --init``.
#. Take stock of the current state of extensions ``git status``.
You should see several untracked dirs for things like the strapping
skin and openid. Any untracked extensions that we are not using
should be removed.
#. Update the untracked extensions that we are using
``cd $EXTENSION_DIR && git pull origin master``. Note their may be
conflicts doing this if security patches or bug fixes have been
applied by hand. Refer to /srv/mediawiki/NOTES for info.
#. Run the backup script ``/srv/mediawiki/backup.sh``. This will backup
the active slot to ``/srv/backup``.
#. Update the DB schemas ``php maintenance/update.php --quick``. Be
sure to run this within the slot you are upgrading (the inactive
slot). If you used the ``cd`` in step 2 this should be the case.
Mediawiki DB schemas are backward compatible so we can upgrade it
without taking down the active slot.
#. At this point we are ready to change the ``/srv/mediawiki/w``
symlink to point to the slot we just upgraded
``rm -f /srv/mediawiki/w && ln -s /srv/mediawiki/$PREVIOUSLY_INACTIVE_SLOT /srv/mediawiki/w``.
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Special:Version should report the
new version now.
