@20after4 per commits like https://secure.phabricator.com/D9202 the changes were abandoned - there is no MediaWiki auth provider in core

Yeah if that RFC passes then that would make things way easier. And yes I used sed for a lot of the changes.

Ok, so in zulip in Phorge General/Unknown under the bridge topic that is bridged to IRC.

The fixes mentioned there would take a long time to implement, as things like strlen() are used in 900+ files.

There were more upstream changes made a week ago, https://secure.phabricator.com/w/changelog/2021.49/, that included improved PHP8 compatibility...

That'll be changes for PHP 8.0 compatibility, but that's not the same as PHP 8.1 compatibility.

Wouldn't a massive changeset like this greatly increase difficulty of performing future merges of upstream (secure.phabricator.com)?

I have submitted patches to fix most of the issues. The following issues still remain.

I just checked the emails I receive to my gmail account and noticed that the emails seem to be from the secure.phorge.dev domain. Should those be received from we.phorge.it instead? I was in the process of filling out an issue form for Microsoft and noticed this discrepancy. Could that cause issues like this?

After making lots of changes in my clone to suppress deprecation warnings, I am stuck at the following error.

I think this task is mostly resolved. The zulip chat is a temporary thing, and it hasn't been used anytime recently. We could bridge the IRC channel to it if we wanted to have a more permanent zulip instance.

A member of Trusted Contributors will land it for you.

@speck I can’t get you added as you aren’t currently authenticated with NickServ.

For the record we are up to 22 user in the channel currently.

@io for GitHub we have a task (T15046)

For the rest, I think they can be created on an as-needed basis.

I will note that also the tech docs aren’t fully generated since there should be docs for most of the phorge/phabricator classes. Also the arcanist docs aren’t generated at all.

Now that I look at this some more, this isn’t quite done - there are still some components of phorge that are missing projects.

Looks good, hopefully this can be landed some time soon.

I’ll note here that I’m going to work on creating projects for some of the prototypes that do get used.

Also when I look at a diff on upstream phabricator i see a land revision button - but I don’t see that for diffs on this instance.

@speck for rARC Trusted Contributors can land but rP is restricted to Blessed Committers

the only global config option I can find is the timezone, so either way changes to phorge core would be required. Timezone has no default value. (It's typically controlled by the php date.timezone setting)

For irc there is Phorge on Libera.chat. I’ve submitted a ticket for community registration after speaking with staff, but I haven’t heard back. (Ticket was submitted 3 weeks ago). Matrix - not sure

Per https://we.phorge.it/source/phorge/manage/policies/ the push policy for this repo is set to Blessed Committers

Could a member of Blessed Committers please land this? I can't do it my self (no write access) and I would appreciate it.

I would also love to contribute to Phorge. I have signed the legalpad doc.

And for google you don't need to provide an email, you can also just get a gmail address.

@speck we can use the existing GitHub organization for oauth. (an owner can setup the app in settings)

Just as a note, All of the mentioned chat platforms can be bridged together.

We don't seem to have any opposition to having a community/support IRC channel, so perhaps I'll start working with Libera staff on registration.

FWIW I don't object to support or community channels off-instance but I do think we need:

• all decisions should be made on-instance
• we should have a culture of ensuring that any "interesting" discussions get recorded on-instance.

I would certainly be happy to work with Libera staff to get the community registered.

Thanks for accepting this. I can’t land it though, somebody with the proper permissions will need to do it.

regarding a monorepo, I'm not sure if there is an advantage to that, I'm fine with individual repos. I currently maintain most of Wikimedia's extensions in a single monorepo but I'd consider splitting them out into individual repos if any one them were candidates for upstreaming.

Abandoned as this will not be needed with the upstream patch merged.

For this phorge instance, I think we should configure auth providers to allow logging in with Github/Google etc.
