Brion,
the latest XML dumps seems to be fine. I tested the de dump from
2005-10-20: No problems while importing it into MySQL and indexing it
with ioda.
Yay, something worked! ;)
I forgot to include the detail in my prior message, that some of the
older dumps may contain duplicate page titles due to the existence of
old non-normalized Unicode titles in the databases; that can lead to
'existing key' errors on the unique title indexes when importing with
mwdumper.
Those have been purged, and so it shouldn't happen anymore.
I am interested in details of failure reports with importDump.php; the
prior memory leaks with 1.5 prereleases should be fixed as of 1.5.0 but
there might be intermittent or specific problems. Unfortunately
importDump is relatively slow because it works page-by-page (mwdumper
does faster bulk imports, assuming a blank slate empty database to start
with) so it takes a while to test or confirm failures. :)
