As part of a side project in my job at Redwerks[1], I've released an early version of a mediawiki-extension cli tool. https://github.com/redwerks/mediawiki-extension-command#readme The tool requires Node.js (in addition to git and php to run clones and composer). It can be installed with `sudo npm install -g mediawiki-extension` and then `mediawiki-extension setup`. The command can download and upgrade any extension we have in Gerrit. Extensions using composer will automatically be installed via composer otherwise it'll be cloned from git. If available, release tags (like "1.0.0" or "v3.0.0") will be used, otherwise master will be used. You'll still need to require and configure the extension yourself. But this is supposed to greatly simplify acquiring and bulk-updating extensions via the cli. Some examples of use. Clone ParserFunctions from git. $ mediawiki-extension download ParserFunctions Install SemanticMediaWiki and SemanticForms with composer. $ mediawiki-extension download SemanticMediaWiki SemanticForms Clone Widgets with from git and checkout the most recent version tag. $ mediawiki-extension download Widgets Update all your MediaWiki extensions: $ mediawiki-extension update --all Switch an extension cloned from git master to the REL branch for the installed version of MediaWiki. $ mediawiki-extension switch ParserFunctions git-rel [1] http://redwerks.org/ -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://danielfriesen.name/] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Do you think this would work with https://github.com/cscott/node-mediawiki-express ? --scott On Thu, Oct 8, 2015 at 4:12 AM, Brion Vibber <bvibber(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:
