There is currently a discussion on LWN about distributions and their
handling of WordPress (currently subscribers only, ask if you need a
link). MediaWiki is likely to start releasing tarballs a lot more
quickly, so we're obviously interested in this discussion.
Are there any thoughts here?

Hi,
can anyone help Roland with that? (If we can get ff-p-mw working
and mediawiki-math back, I’d fully support getting a current MW,
1.19 probably, into wheezy before the freeze.)
Thanks,

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh

I have a prototype here for doing that. There are unrelated problems as
well, but it's not committed yet because it doesn't work: the MW
upgrading code seems to have a bug, where it issues SQL statements such
as "SET search_path = plugin_mediawiki_siteadmin," (note ending comma).
I fixed that by locally adding…
$search_path = preg_replace( '/, *$/', '', $search_path);
…after line 1415 of /usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance/updaters.inc. I'm
not sure if this fix should be applied to MW or if the bug is actually
in the FF glue.
Roland.
