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 http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28158
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 http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27473
Happy Hacking!
