| rundg | Thanks hexmode | 17:43:36 |
| *  hexmode tips fedora | 17:48:30 |
| rundg | Does anyone know why update.php would fail with 'Missing rc_timestamp field of recentchanges table. Should not happen.' (from line 459 of '/opt/htdocs/mediawiki/includes/installer/MysqlUpdater.php') when in fact the rc_timestamp field IS there? | 19:24:42 |
| rundg | doIndexUpdate is the method, and it's a schema check for v1.2 | 19:32:00 |
| rundg | A. it can happen if you have an incorrect value for wgDBprefix | 20:02:32 |

| hexmode | wikiapiary is alive-ish | 23:36:20 |
| rundg | thanks for your work on it | 23:40:32 |
| hexmode | I've done nothing so far | 23:40:51 |
| hexmode | just noticed it was up | 23:41:01 |
| rundg | the best kind of work ;-) | 23:41:11 |
| hexmode | does anyone know if ElasticSearch 1.7.x is supposed to work with MW 1.27? | 23:43:13 |
| hexmode | aparently, yes | 23:51:23 |

 jamesmontalvo3 | I seem to recall using 1.5 when pre-1.28, but that could have changed | 03:06:27 |
| jamesmontalvo3 | 1.6 is what the mostly-unsupported 27.x branch of Meza uses: https://github.com/enterprisemediawiki/meza/blob/27.x/config/core/defaults.yml#L145 | 03:09:07 |
 A.Gharbeia | Do we, as a species, know if anyone at all has succefully understood how MIME detection works in MW? | 17:01:14 |
| A.Gharbeia | More specifically: there are loads of deprecated code and hackery of the spaghetti type. | 18:05:59 |
| A.Gharbeia | For example: Are there any known precedents of the use of the detection overriding mechanism using $guessCallback and $extCallback defined in MimeAnalyzer? | 18:07:17 |
| A.Gharbeia | We're basically trying to build this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CBxHandler | 19:25:40 |
 Bryan Hilderbrand | I think someone from NASA (maybe @kfield:matrix.org?) was working on a way to get other file type (Excel, Word, etc.) to show with a graphic (similar to how pdfs do now) through MIME detection? | 19:30:27 |

I think someone from NASA (maybe @kfield:matrix.org?) was working on a way to get other file type (Excel, Word, etc.) to show with a graphic (similar to how pdfs do now) through MIME detection? our problem is mainly trying to egt MW to recognise a mime type such as application/vnd.comicbook+zip instead of application/zip, overriding its hackish system and its many hardcoded assumptions and special cases. The code is annotated with notes acknowledging its shortcomes and areas to be deprecated. But it's scary. | 19:38:55 |

| jamesmontalvo3 | Kfield and I have dealt with some mime issues. Ask me again on Tuesday. | 00:59:57 |
 tgr | @gharbeia:matrix.org: https://codesearch.wmflabs.org/search/?q=%5Cb(guessCallback%7CextCallback)%5Cb&i=nope&files=&repos= | 03:32:59 |
| tgr | so apparently not | 03:33:07 |

@uwe_a:matrix.org, you may want to talk to @jamesmontalvo3:matrix.org | 12:36:59 |

I think someone from NASA (maybe @kfield:matrix.org?) was working on a way to get other file type (Excel, Word, etc.) to show with a graphic (similar to how pdfs do now) through MIME detection? Yeah. There is some code in there to make detecting these common MIMEs working. It's still hackish, but working, apparently. So NASA's task is easier than ours. (pun embedded) | 12:40:49 |
| A.Gharbeia | In reply to @tgr:matrix.org
so apparently not I wish there was relief in despair. | 12:42:09 |
