Is there any update or status on this? Before realizing that Debian's MediaWiki packages were out of date and were not included in testing, I committed to setting up an in-house Wiki at my workplace, to be present and functional by the end of June.
If it were going to be dropped from Debian entirely, I could fall back on installing and configuring MediaWiki separately, rather than via the Debian packaging system. However, if (as this bug indicates) it's going to be reintroduced through Debian, I would prefer not to install an unpackaged version and then need to deal with either upgrading it manually or migrating across to the packaged version. As it has been more than two months since the filing of the ITP, and nearly as long since the last bug activity, I am left a little bit in Limbo on this; I can neither move forward independently of any Debian package, nor plan around the expected arrival schedule of the updated Debian package. (Also, the version of MediaWiki in Debian stable does not seem to behave as documented; the only in-Debian documentation I've found directs the sysadmin to configure the package via a Web interface, but on a machine which has had mediawiki 1:1.19.20+dfsg-2.3 installed - with its dependencies, including Apache - and no other special configuration performed, Apache does not expose the described Web interface. Which isn't relevant to this bug, except that it means I can't just start out with the already-packaged version and expect to be able to upgrade that if-and-when the new version gets packaged.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
