Create a hierarchy at translatewiki.net, similar to /resources/projects/mediawiki-extensions/ (/resources/projects/mediawiki-skins/?) where the repos under mediawiki/skins are cloned and can be configured in a way similar to MediaWiki extensions in mediawiki-defines.txt.
(this came out of a conversation at the Zurich Hackathon 2014)
Version: master
Severity: normal
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolved | None | T70333 Move all four core skins to separate repositories and include them in the tarball | |||
| Resolved | siebrand | T67040 [twn] Support gerrit repos in mediawiki/skins |
Every skin has at least the "skinname-<skin>" message, so yes.
It would be nice if you made this possible, because this will soon also affect core skins including Vector per [[mw:Separating skins from core MediaWiki]].
Has anything been done about this? Can I help? It would be really great to have this done quickly (maybe during the Hackathon at Wikimania?).
I've seen some discussion about skin extensions just being extensions. I assumed it would be wise to wait on the outcome of that, because it could mean that the skins would just come back again to the regular extensions tree, which would be great from an L10n/twn perspective.
I don't really see that happening (see [1] for my reply to Krinkle, who was the only person who suggested that AFAICS; tl;dr: it's worth it).

Really, can I help? :)

This bug is fixed, but yesterday there were no export of mediawiki/skins/* repos under owner:L10n-bot
At least modern or cologneblue needs a init export.
Exports still have to get integrated in Raimond's workflow. Will happen somewhere in the next few weeks
