Last week I promised you I would return to beating the 1.17 tarball
drum. So let the beating begin.
The first batch of bugs is focused on the new installer. Chad, Raimond,
Max, and others have all been working on getting this in shape, but a
few bugs still remain. We really need to get these cleared out before
we release a tarball since this will be the first thing most people see.
[Installer] Javascript-opened sections not open on back or error
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/26937
[Installer] Install does not complete when choosing a CC license
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27170
[Installer] $*Key values sometimes not filled
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/26481
[Installer] Chrome saves config as LocalSettings.php.php
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27579
[Installer] Cannot abort or postpone slow operations during upgrades via
web interface
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27929
Installer doesn't create extension tables
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28237
Installer does not respect initial DBport declaration
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28162
Labels for DB types on page=DBConnect are too narrow

While most people do stick with MySQL, a fair number of rebels install
the other major Open Source database: PostgreSQL. We focus our own
development on MySQL, but not having support for PostgreSQL would be
pretty embarrassing. As a result, these bugs are fairly important. Greg
has likely fixed the first one, Chad has started looking at the second
one, but the third is wide open.
Postgres install fails with no schema
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28171
Error on Postgres install - wfGetDB called when it shouldn't
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28172
Postgres defaults to a unix socket - mention in install?
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28173
If layout and javascript are more your thing, we have a couple of those
left, too:
width of <gallery> always 100%
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27540
New wikilink window grows in width each time when opened in IE and
Chrome
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27566
Finally, a bonus 1.17 blocker. Tim has suggested two separate ways to
solve the problem. Should we go with the “simple” fix or the ”complex”
fix? Truth be told, at this point, we can probably only afford the
simple one.
Apostrophe in linktrail breaks bolded links

Happy Hacking!
