^_^ Please do, please do, if at all possible, please... One of the 3 reasons I have my own skins repo for my wiki is that I store skins inside of /var/www/mediawiki/sources/skins, and my actual mediawiki code adjacently inside of ../mediawiki-1.12 and ../mediawiki-trunk. Because the /skins folder is not a subfolder of the MediaWiki source (and there is no reason why it should have to be, considering the directory is completely customizable) the .deps.php files all gave me fatal errors which required me to delete all of them. If the APC issue is gone, then please do get rid of .deps.php files for the skins, they are only in the way of installations of MediaWiki that share skins inside of a central location. ~Daniel Friesen(Dantman) of: -The Nadir-Point Group (http://nadir-point.com) --It's Wiki-Tools subgroup (http://wiki-tools.com) --Games-G.P.S.
