README

This tool is currently a colossal hack.  Proceed only with this in mind. ;-)

Everything here is released under the MIT license.  See LICENSE for details.

Be sure to run "bundle install" so you get all the required gems.

Here is some code you can paste into "rails console" to test all the active
patches for MediaWiki core against a checkout of trunk/phase3 in /tmp/mw (this
code won't hurt the checkout but no warranties, etc.).

# Test all the active patches for MediaWiki core
s = Bugzilla::Site.new('https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/')
bugs = s.search(:keywords=>'patch need-review',:keywords_type=>'allwords', :resolution=>'---', :product=>'MediaWiki'); bugs.size
bugs.each do |bug|
  bug.active_patches.each do |patch|
    result = patch.test('/tmp/mw')
    puts "Bug: #{bug.id}; Patch: #{patch.id}; Status: #{result[:status]}; Strip: #{result[:strip]}; Path: #{result[:path]}"
  end
end; 1

Currently, the only interesting code is under "extras/".

Basically I fetch pages with curb(libcurl) and pull out what I need with 
nokogiri(libxml2) and some css selectors.  Then I take each patch and attempt an 
exhaustive search (after trying the easy cases) to see if it will apply.

I started with the Bugzilla API, but it was pretty annoying so I took the "easy" 
route.
