German wiki software reverts?

Post #1 of 7 (1053 views)

Yesterday I fixed a couple typos in LanguageDe.php (Portugiesisch and
Schwedisch were misspelled in the list of interlanguage links). I
committed the fixes to CVS, and copied the updated version onto the live
server, and everything was hunky-dory.

Today around 2 pm (PDT) somebody copied the old version back with
misspellings intact... I put the latest CVS version back in its place;
if there was a reason for the revert (such as other changes made),
please commit the changes to CVS and make sure a current, consistent
version is put on the live server.

That may have been me--I made changes to that file today to fix
the "Benutzer_Diskussion" bug, and add the ISBN update. I'm
usually pretty good about keeping up with CVS, but I may have
dropped the ball on this one.

I guess it might have been me as well - I noticed LanguageDe.php being
reverted to a *really* old version, with some additions. So, I changed
it back the the new version, with the fixes Lee made. Now I see it is
the same old (buggy) version again. I'll yet again bring it up-to-date,
and try to conserve your fixes, Brion.

OK, done. But I have no easy way to commit this to the CVS. *The version
currently in htdocs-de/w is the most recent one!* Please, commit it to
CVS, or at least don't replace it with that old version.

If you're going to change the live files and *not* update CVS, I highly
recommend telling the rest of us about it. I explicitly made my changes
against the CVS version on the assumption that there might be other changes.

Have you considered using the "cvs" command? ;) I just checked out a
second copy of the source in my home directory for my wikipedia.com
account, so I can bounce tweaks back and forth to the live directory
pretty easily.

Committed.

Bonjour,
I don't seem to have right to add files in the CVS Wikipedia.
Someone can add the following dummies files from Language.php :

LanguageFr.php (France)
LanguageJa.php (Japan)
LanguageKo.php (Korea)

I would have the right to modify it, isn't it?
Have I to be added to the developers list ?
You can create empty files, I will create the extended class LanguageFr, ...
Thanks,

Guillaume

Thank you very much.
I didn't see any way to upload modified files ?
Have I to be included in the developpers list ?
