But then how do we support the current stable FF 5.3
(deb-packaging.git:debian/5.3, which works against Debian Wheezy's mediawiki,
Debian has this wonderful thing called releases. You can carry
patches in one of the releases but not in the other, while both
have the same upstream version. A good example for this *is*
actually src:mediawiki, which differs between stable/1.19 and
testing/1.19 but still carries the same upstream version.
Debian also has this horrible thing called "non-upstream patch" which is
also known worldwide as the OpenSSL predictable random number generator
vulnerability ;)
So I'd recommend considering the upstream PoV first, and then let it
flow down to distros (rather than the other way around).
A wheezy-backports upload may smooth things, as long as the changes in
MediaWiki itself aren't invasive.
As for upstream integration of the 1.23 patches… well, we’ll
see when it comes to that. I don’t know their extent yet, so
I can’t promise to be able to make a patchset that works with
both versions, but I can try and keep this in mind.
In the $orkplace case, we just use the new version then.
Having only one version makes things easier.
