Right now het deploy relies on dba_* functions existing so we can read wikiversions.cdb. This shouldn't be completely necessary since we've got CdbReader_PHP in core.
This makes it impossible to run maintenance scripts under hhvm currently. While hhvm should support the functionality, it would be nice to use our own fallbacks here.
Version: wmf-deployment
Severity: normal
The code as is sorta suggests (or reads like, at least) we shouldn't be using the php version...
public static function open( $fileName ) {
if ( self::haveExtension() ) {
return new CdbReader_DBA( $fileName );
} else {
wfDebug( "Warning: no dba extension found, using emulation.\n" );
return new CdbReader_PHP( $fileName );
}}
Cdb_PHP.php looks standalone enough, so we can presumably reuse that (without having to initialize mediawiki to read a cdb, which would lead to some nice recursion - what version of mediawiki should we load?)...
Is it worth us copying this into multiversion? Or just use require/include ../php/includes/Cdb.php and ../php/includes/Cdb_PHP.php
