[MediaWiki-l] Dump of recents changes

Hi, all

I've a private wiki, which must be duplicated elsewhere.
I do this with a DumpBackup operation, then a importDump (this is quite long...).
Now, I'd like to update this duplicated wiki, on some weekly basis for example, but without using the full dump, only a dump of the pages which has been changed since a given date. I don't found any utility to get this kind of dump without tedious manual operations on Special Recents Changes page.
Can you tell me if such an operation is possible, and how?

Thanks for your help

G. Moko

Re: Dump of recents changes

In the maintenance folder there should be a rebuild recent changes script.

Re: Dump of recents changes

Thanks; but I don't understand how I can get a dump of the recent changed pages with this script. As I understand (the doc is very succinct), it updates the current wiki, but doesn't extract anything...

Re: Dump of recents changes

When you restore the previous dump it rebuilds the recent changes table
based off what was imported

I've never used this myself, but dumpBackup.php has options like
--revrange, --revstart and --revend. Perhaps these can do it?

Re: Dump of recents changes

That is for revision I'd based dumping. Once the dump is imported, just run
rebuild recent changes and it will recreate the recent changes information

I have no idea why you keep talking about recent changes when no one
asked anything about them.

Thanks.I'll look at this; I don't consider these options.I wondered what was --stub option and dumpTextPass.php, but there's not a lot of description, ond it seems not to fit my needs.
