I think it would be a good idea to improve the quality of these tools since they do not work properly with released MediaWiki Distributions and published XML dumps provide from Wikipedia with A LOT of work and debugging.
Will we be seeing your patches soon to address these "flaws" that you see, so they can be independently tested?
I have a few very small patches to mwdumper that have improved things quite a bit for me (adding table prefixes at import time, correcting the table import syntax to increase throughput, etc.).
The information you just posted to meta is wrong for Fedora Core 5. If you have experience with Ubutnu and these other distros and wish to share it, that's great, please do not remove or revert the sections which apply to OS's you have not tested. Thanks.
