  Description     : Tools to help import MediaWiki XML dumps into database

 Tools for converting MediaWiki XML dumps into a format that can be rapidly
 loaded into a local instance of MediaWiki.

 o mwxml2sql - convert MediaWiki XML dump file into MySQL INSERT commands

 o sql2txt   - convert MySQL INSERT commands to LOAD DATA INFILE commands

 o sqlfilter - filter MySQL INSERT statements with fields matching values

 The Wikimedia Foundation offers wikipedias and wiktionaries in nearly 300
 languages.  About once a month, the WMF publishes dump files of each wiki in
 XML format.  The WMF also publishes a software, MediaWiki, that anyone may use
 to create their own wiki.  MediaWiki can also be used to create a local mirror.
 To build a mirror, one must import an XML dump file into a local instance of
 MediaWiki. These tools are faster than those published with MediaWiki (much
 faster than importDump.php).  Speed is important for mirroring the largest
 wikis such as the `enwiki'.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging mediawiki-mwxml2sql. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of mediawiki-mwxml2sql back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging mediawiki-mwxml2sql, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 710584 ITP: mediawiki-mwxml2sql -- Tools to help import MediaWiki XML dumps into database
 owner 710584 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <710584@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
