Description Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2012-10-17 21:13:30 UTC 
On beta, the /home/wikipedia/common/wikiversions.dat file is a live hack. The file map a database to a MediaWiki version. On beta that should always be 'php-master', on production it is something like 'php-1.21wmf11'.

Whenever someone does a git pull on beta and erase the file, the beta cluster is unusuable since the wikis are pointing to a non existent php code base.

We need to create a wikiversions-wmflabs.dat file and adapt any script using wikiversions.dat to detect the beta context.
Comment 1 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2013-01-11 15:05:01 UTC 
We now vary based on the realm. The wikiversions.dat is replaced by wikiversions-labs.dblist whenever we run on labs.
