--- Comment #7 from [email protected] --- > should really be upgraded This is not going to happen. You can keep supporting a widely deployed server operating system or in practise encurage people to just stop upgrading MediaWiki. This is the choice we will be making for now. Reality is that users like me try the latest version of MediaWiki and find that it is broken. I feel lucky that I found out that MediaWiki 1.22 is broken on Centos 5.9 during the setup of a new wiki, now I know I should not even consider upgrading other MediaWiki installations on our servers until we upgrade the servers (and move to Centos 6.x) 6 months to a year from now. We'll be running old MW in the meantime. "CentOS shipping a pcre version which is like six years old and should really be upgraded by CentOS" is like saying "everyone should be nice to each other". Sure, that would be great but reality is that it ain't going to happen. As for MW, people will just say "latest version is broken" and not use it. I don't know how much work would be involved in making it work on CentOS 5.x but if it's just a matter of changing a few lines of code then you should just do it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
