contrib: remove "mw-to-git"

2025-05-12T17:55:45Z

The "mw-to-git" directory contains tools for accessing MediaWiki via Git. The scripts are essentially unmaintained in Git: despite a couple of global cleanups, the last changes were a couple of security-related issues part of 9a8606465e8 (remote-mediawiki: use "sh" to eliminate unquoted commands, 2020-09-21) and its parents. We don't ever run any of the tests so it is more likely than not that many of the tests have been bitrotting, like e.g. documented in f8ab018dafc (remote-mediawiki tests: annotate failing tests, 2020-09-21). According to Matthieu Moy [1], one of the original developers of this tool, it didn't receive any attention recently and there is no motivation to keep maintaining it anymore in the community. The project has been spun out of Git [2] and thus has a new official home, but did not receive much attention over there, either. As such, it seems like the MediaWiki transport helper is slowly fading away. But given that there is a new home, it doesn't make sense to have it as part of Git anymore only to let it rot. Remove the directory. [1]: <108f297a-b415-4742-80e4-51ea02af18e9@matthieu-moy.fr> [2]: https://github.com/Git-Mediawiki/Git-Mediawiki Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

remote-mediawiki tests: use inline PerlIO for readability

2020-09-21T19:37:38Z

Replace the use of the "open" pragma with a three-arg open in the places that actually care about UTF-8, while leaving those that don't (the config parsing). Unlike the previous "encoding" pragma change this isn't needed for compatibility with anything. I just think it's easier to read code that has localized effects than code that changes global settings. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

remote-mediawiki tests: replace deprecated Perl construct

2020-09-21T19:37:38Z

The use of the encoding pragma has been a hard error since Perl 5.18 (released in 2013). What this script really wanted to do was to decode @ARGV and write out some files with the UTF-8 PerlIO layer. Let's just do that explicitly instead. This explicitly does not retain the previous UTF-8 semantics of the script. The "encoding" pragma had all sorts of global effects (program text being UTF-8, stdin/stdout etc.). But the only thing that was required was decoding @ARGV and writing out UTF-8 data, which is currently facilitated with the "open" pragma.

remote-mediawiki tests: use a more idiomatic dispatch table

2020-09-21T19:37:38Z

Change the dispatch table code in test-gitmw.pl to use a hash where subroutine references are the values. This is more obvious than a hash where the values are strings we'll use to go searching around in the symbol table for the function.

git-remote-mediawiki: test environment of git-remote-mediawiki

2012-07-06T19:20:45Z

In order to test git-remote-mediawiki, a set of functions is needed to manage a MediaWiki: edit a page, remove a page, fetch a page, fetch all pages on a given wiki. A few helper function are also provided to check the content of directories. In addition, this patch provides Makefiles to execute tests. See the README file for more details.
