I'd like to perform tuning on:

Software versions

As of 2010-10-12, these are the software and versions we're running.

Questions to answer for each:

  1. Is this in use?
  2. Are there upgrades available?
  3. Do the upgrades conflict with current or targeted versions of other software?
  • MediaWiki 1.15.3
    • Upgraded to 1.6.0.
  • MultiCategorySearch 1.35, with modifications by User:Opticron.
    • Currently, yes, this is used a lot. Namely, as part of Template:Unimpl Page. Modifying that template to leverage SMW instead would be nice, but SMW doesn't support set exclusions involving categories, so things like Template:Example and Template:Task would need to apply semantic properties in addition to categories, so that the SMW query could operate on those properties, instead of categories.
    • Versions 1.4 and 1.5 are available. No obvious conflicts. May require editing by User:Opticron to include inline queries.
  • Special:Interwiki r47067
    • Yes, used very much.
    • r32289 is current svn version number. No idea if there are any changes.
  • WebChat 1.0.0
    • Occasionally
    • No new version.
  • Cite Version r47190
    • Don't know.
    • 74711 is current svn version number. Don't know if there are any changes.
      • Upgraded.
  • GeSHi CodeTag 1.65, liberally edited and rewritten by User:Short Circuit. It's nearly a completely different extension by now.
  • IpbWiki PayPal 1.02
    • Yes, for donations.
    • No new version.
  • ParserFunctions (no version number at Special:Version?
    • Yes, for templates like Template:Language.
    • 'Removed explicit inclusion, now pulled in via SemanticBundle.
  • Semantic MediaWiki 1.5.1.1
    • Yes
    • SMW 1.5.2 is available. No obvious conflicts.
    • Upgraded to 1.5.2.

  • AmazonPlus 0.5.2
    • No. There's a bug in MediaWiki template processing that prevents AmazonPlus from being usable within templates.
    • No new version.
  • ConfirmEdit Version r36959
    • Yes, as part of CAPTCHAs.
    • Current svn trunk is r32289. Don't know if there are any changes.

    • No new version.
  • Squid version 2.7.STABLE3-4.1 (debian 5)
    • Yes. I'm sure it has a few cache hits, too.
    • I don't know if the X-Vary-Options patch is applied. The X-Vary-Options patch is described here, latest references are here and here, and the wiki page in question doesn't appear to have gone anywhere. Furthermore, I don't know what to make of this. Without apt-get source 'ing the squid package, I don't know if I have the patch or not.
      • Have updated info. Don't have the patched version. Not going to do a custom build without further investigation toward integrating MediaWiki's patch set and building a local package. --Michael Mol 13:22, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to perform tuning on:
