Hey,
Basically splitting core-specific stuff from general installer functionality
(so the general stuff can also be used for extensions). Also making initial
steps towards filesystem upgrades possible.
The point of this mail is not discussing what I want to do though, but
rather avoiding commit conflicts, as I don't know which people are working
on the code right now, and who has uncommitted changes.
There's still quite a lot of work to do to get the new installer ready
for 1.17. I think we should focus on that, and avoid expanding the
scope of the project until we've reached that milestone.
There are the issues discussed here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New-installer_issues
and more will become apparent as more testing is done.
If the new installer is not ready to replace the old installer when it
comes time to branch 1.17, I will move it out of trunk, back to a
development branch. Hopefully that won't be necessary.
