Is there any way to get around the 15-20GB update of the text dump, I mean some sort of incremental update?\r\n\r\n2. What is the process of generating the image update files, would it be as simple as downloading the text dump from wikipedia servers. I have checked wikipedia mirror sites but all those links were outdated? I have even searched around the XOWA documentation not sure if i missed something.\r\n\r\nThanks again.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/comments/191889146","html_url":"https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/44#issuecomment-191889146","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/44","id":191889146,"user":{"login":"GitterHubber","id":2816034,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2816034?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber","html_url":"https://github.com/GitterHubber","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GitterHubber/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-03T18:03:22Z","updated_at":"2016-03-03T18:03:22Z","body":"> The process is sort of complicated as it requires command-line scripts and a fast machine. It takes about 4 days of parsing all of English Wikipedia to generate a month's updates. You can check home/wiki/Help:Import/Command-line/Dumps in XOWA and let me know if you have any questions.\r\n\r\nThanks for the info.\r\nWill certainly have a look at it and try to figure it out.\r\nMany Thanks!"}}
