There is no buildout.cfg. I am affraid that wiki software is in a strange state, where some parts are installed from distribution, other are hacked by hand. I certainly do not consider current state as final -- rather as first step in trurly upgrading wiki software.

ATM I do not know which features are important. I want a wiki (giving access to FriCAS) and I want to preserve old content. Running mathaction satisfies both needs. There is also time and effort factor. As long as mathaction was running on Sage server it was good enough (for me editing was not working but it worked for other folks). With mataction gone from the net we needed replacement. Running mathaction is the fastest way to re-establish wiki. Let me add that there is feature which current mathaction is missing but I consider essential, namely backups in "neutral format" (as opposed to binary dumps). Also, I want to preserve core mathaction functionality (ability to run math programs and use Latex notation) but the software may change. I will see if maintaning current software stack (zope, Plone, ZWiki, LatexWiki, mathaction) is easier than switching to different software. However, any switch will not be fast and in the mean time instead of theorizing we can run old software. -- Waldek Hebisch [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
