-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hello Gerrit, hello all,
I have four comments/proposals regarding the Mediawiki port. 1) PostgreSQL support is unnecessarily marked as "non functional". PGSQL "Use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL (not funtional)" off However, Mediawiki works flawlessly with PostgreSQL, I have a working installation (FreeBSD-6.3/amd64, PostgreSQL-8.2). Port always downloads and installs MySQL while no component of MySQL is needed. 2) The port doesn't (optionally) compile texvc from math/. This application must be compiled if one wants built-in TeX rendering support; this is compilable part of the source and goes to /usr/local/www/. It calls for lang/ocaml(-notk) among BUILD_DEPENDS and print/teTeX (or some smaller subset of packages) in RUN_DEPENDS. 3) There are some built-in functionalities (not some sort of plugin options) that are enabled by default during Mediawiki installation. Therefore the following ports should be IMHO added as dependencies: a) at least one of - www/pecl-APC - www/eaccelerator - databases/memcached - www/cache for caching support; b) graphics/ImageMagick for basic image handling support. 4) The Mediawiki manual suggests *not* to install source directly in the server root. IMHO, the port should optionally support installation to a *real* server root subdir, which is difficult to achieve if files always go to /usr/local/www/mediawiki/ directly. This is the recommended method in Mediawiki manual: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL#Recommended_configuration_.28Used_on_Wikipedia.29 I'd like to know if the maintainer and Ports' people consider these suggestions to be reasonable. Best wishes. - -- Nikola Lečić = Никола Лечић fingerprint : FEF3 66AF C90E EDC3 D878 7CDC 956D F4AB A377 1C9B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iQCVAwUBR7DD4fzDP9K2CKGYAQMkDgP9G6p+XelagGVPFGCnh/tSWfARvWtOzt7v s8PEGj0kL0ohcJf/OTVjqYxrO+GeCeIb0aoWC+DdFXBP+lgju1WmZh5b75gC1pyX C/zjfBwIYINvM4JiuRmcXCbujRbtOBfe31nq0OG2Mhe4Yu1f4LQjqRctycoH62wq XDhVciYLC+0= =J3SL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
