A few of us have been discussing how awesome it would be to use MediaWiki-Vagrant[1] to create a portable production-like environment.
We recently started a push on this by packaging Parsoid and other services (rt test server, mathoid, ..) as Debian packages. This makes the installation in a Debian/Ubuntu environment as easy as 'apt-get install parsoid'.
An important advantage is that these packages are also directly usable for hosted virtual machines commonly used by third party wiki installs. It also avoids duplicating standard packaging tasks like startup scripts, user setup, logging etc between packages and puppet, and lets puppet concentrate on managing just the differences in configurations.
