The version of mediawiki used is hopelessly outdated, unfortunately. But you can probably pick up what’s still there for 1.19, maybe backport the occasional fix by hand. (I don’t follow their new releases either.) I’d most certainly *not* mark it as “supported”. > I wonder if we shouldn't just follow the updates from jessie (and > vice-versa): the release number seems to be exactly the same: > mediawiki | 1:1.19.20+dfsg-0+deb7u3 | wheezy-security | source, all > mediawiki | 1:1.19.20+dfsg-2.3 | jessie | source, all I’ve brought it up to 1.19.24, but that was the last upstream 1.19 release, and ever since, any support for it ended, and upstream doesn’t even indicate whether a bug affects some old version any more. (I may have backported _some_ patches.) This is all publically viewable at https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=evolvis-platfrm/mediawiki.git but you will not want 806920fedd4644bcc0b092eaefae54db18263d5e in Debian, nor part of this diff: https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=evolvis-platfrm/mediawiki.git;a=commitdiff;h=7c5d49e935dffe1999900db9e11b59c217cea9b9;hp=77e1558c2ec0548f015c2fa8d9084606567ddc8a (You do want the changes to mediawiki.links and d/s/options.) That’s all “as is”. We’re currently reconsidering what to do with mediawiki as well. But since it could be useful, and anarcat posted about it on Planet Debian, I thought to share. bye, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg
