A slightly related story: Debian's wiki is moinmoin. Moinmoin v1.x is based on python 2. Python2 is (of course) deprecated and pretty much abandoned as of Debian Bullseye. It seems somewhat ironic that the wiki that proudly announces Debian 12 (bookworm) as of July 22, has to run Debian 10 (buster, i.e. oldoldstable) because that's the last version that supports python2 enough to run the wiki.
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-moinmoin I have a particularly acute awareness of this because Personal Telco's wiki also uses moinmoin, and it stopped working when I tried to update to Debian 11 (bullseye) about a year ago. We had a brief outage while I figured out what had gone wrong. -- Russell Senior russ...@personaltelco.net On Sun, Jul 30, 2023 at 12:17 PM Ben Koenig <techkoe...@protonmail.com> wrote: > > ------- Original Message ------- > On Sunday, July 30th, 2023 at 11:31 AM, Michael Rasmussen > <mich...@jamhome.us> wrote: > > > > Short Story: > > Running MediaWiki, a php based app > > Upgraded my Archlinux host with `pacman -Syu` > > MediaWiki Breaks with this error: > > > > Installing some PHP extensions is required. > > Required components > > You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki requires to > > run.
