Earlier, I told Platonides that I would look at the RPMs from
Fedora/CentOS/RHEL for MediaWiki in an effort to work more closely with
them. The Fedora team has already contacted us about some copyright
concerns, so we have a start.
Platonides has already done a lot of work with the Debian community, and
I'll be working from his comments Debian's MediaWiki packages so we can
get some sort of synchronization between packages.
I'll try to report back tonight with what I find.
Mark.
In Debian we have a build line:
find debian/mediawiki -depth \( -name ".cvsignore" -o -name ".gitignore" \
-o -name ".arch-ids" \) -exec rm -rf {} \;
It would be much nicer if this happened upstream as part of producing
tarballs. Such files are only useful in checkouts, not snapshots.
(Is there a good place to report distributor pseudo-bugs or is this
list acceptable?)
Thanks,

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.
