I am migrating a production mediawiki installation from 1.5.8/MySQL to 1.11.0/Postgres.

Using the backup procedure [1] to export/import the main wiki data via XML works, but leaves me needing to run some maintenance scripts to rebuild some of the internal metadata (e.g. file upload information).

As far as I can see, the maintenance scripts have not yet been updated for Postgres, but don't necessarily need much patching to be made to work. Minimal changes to the FiveUpgrade.inc file made it possible for me to get the rebuildImages.php script to work.

I'm seeking feedback as to whether I've missed something obvious about how to perform this upgrade, or whether this is work that could usefully be contributed back to the project, and whether anyone is already working on this and would like to collaborate ?
