Delete 2.9.5 tag at buddypress.svn.wordpress.org

A BuddyPress committer made a mistake in the 2.9.5 tag while back-porting a fix & performing a bunch of minor releases. I do not have the power to bypass the pre-commit hook:

Committing transaction...
svn: E165001: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E165001: Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 1) with output:
Cannot commit to a tag.

If possible, may I please have this tag deleted: https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/tags/2.9.5

Bonus ask, may I please have the power to commit to tags on the BuddyPress & bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org. repositories (or have the restriction removed completely?) It happens rarely, but it’s an easy clean-up for me when it does.

IIRC, the original reason we’d added that hook many years ago was because we were using those tags for deployment to dotorg, but we switched to deployingDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. from plugins.svn when we introduced build processes.

Vary nginx cache by wporg_locale cookie value

This cookie gets set by the locale-detection pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party, which is used on the login site, and soon on the Learn WordPress site. In the case of Learn, the value of this cookie will determine the language that is displayed in the front end UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. of the site (see this PR). Caching the pages without consideration of the chosen locale has a lot of potential for bad UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it..

Could we update the nginxNGINX NGINX is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. It started out as a web server designed for maximum performance and stability. In addition to its HTTP server capabilities, NGINX can also function as a proxy server for email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) and a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers. https://www.nginx.com/. config to take this cookie into account when caching wporg pages? This locale switching functionality is intended for use on various wp.org sites beyond just Learn, so ideally this change would apply for *.wordpress.org

#~~prio1~~ because we’d like to get the locale switcher launched on the Learn site soon.

Bumping this down to #prio2 as it was worked around, but needs a call on whether this should just be closed or not.

Update gutenberg.run `A` record

Hi, can you please update the A record for gutenberg.run to point to 165.22.42.103?

The current record points to a droplet under @aduth‘s personal account, and we’d like to change it to a Foundation account that several of us have access to. DigitalOcean doesn’t allow transferring droplets, so we had to setup a new one, hence the IP change.

Update *.git.wordpress.org to rename `master` to `trunk`.

WordPress CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. has decided to rename from master to trunk on all repo’s: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/06/18/proposal-update-all-git-repositories-to-use-main-instead-of-master/ and Gutenberg did that over here: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/27741

This is primarily for https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress/ & https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress-develop/ ( core.git.wordpress.org & develop.git.wordpress.org) but could also be applied to all of the git mirrors for simplicity.

The full list of *.git.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ mirrors are the following AFAIK, and all can be updated without issue, as all the projects listed will just follow core’s direction here. I don’t know how this will affect the *.git => githubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ syncing process and/or what will need to change on GitHub.
– core.git.wordpress.org
– develop.git.wordpress.org
– backpress.git.wordpress.org
– bbpress.git.wordpress.org
– buddypress.git.wordpress.org
– glotpress.git.wordpress.org
– meta.git.wordpress.org

Can we make the change to our git mirrors please?

Relax chinese rate limiting for Trac

In https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2020/03/21/re-evaluate-the-chinese-rate-limiting/ the rate limit for chinese traffic was relaxed, but it looks like Trac still has a rate limit in place.

Can we relax the rate limit for TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. as well?

If DOS traffic is still an issue, is it at all possible for logged in traffic to bypass the limits?

Enable cURL on w.org production server?

The script that updates our ip2location database tables relies on cURL to download the newest data files. We’ve been running this script manually on sandboxes for a couple of years and it has always completed without errors. Recently we set up a cron job to run this script automatically, which means it now happens on the production server instead of a sandbox. However, during its inaugural run today, it failed with a curl: command not found error message.

Would it be possible to enable cURL on production so this script can run there?

Enable Byte-Range Requests

Request from Chloé Bringmann:

I ran into an error when trying to upload the RSS feedRSS Feed RSS is an acronym for Real Simple Syndication which is a type of web feed which allows users to access updates to online content in a standardized, computer-readable format. This is the feed. on Apple for the new WP Briefing podcast. Would you be able to assist with this?I submitted the WP Briefing podcast to Apple and got the following error:

Can’t submit your feed. Your episodes are hosted on a server which does not support byte-range requests. Enable byte-range requests.

Is this something we can do on w.org, or would this be something where we want to utilize a CDN to serve the files instead?

Increase upload size maximum to 100MB on w.org

The current server configuration seems to have a max upload file size of 50MB. I assume this is in the PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. http://php.net/manual/en/intro-whatis.php. configuration, although it may be limited by the webserver settings as well.

This is currently limited to 10MB on the main w.org network, and 50MB on the make network. These settings are through WordPress itself, in the Network Settings pages.

We would like that to be bumped to 100MB globally. The sites would still be limited to 10 and 50, respectively, with one exception. The https://wordpress.org/news/ site will need larger upload capabilities for the podcast files. Code has been added to allow up to 100MB uploads for the /news site only, but it is currently limited to 50MB by the server.

So, the request is to bump the max upload size on w.org to 100MB.

Remove WordPress.org SupportPress remnants

As of r16882-dotorg the SupportPress configs and externals have been removed.

Can you please:
