Bug #: 28829
Summary: Failure to subscribe to mediawiki-announce is not
reported to the user
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
WebInstaller_Install does not check for warnings from the installation steps,
so failure of the mediawiki-announce subscription and the mt_rand() security
warning are not reported to the user.
Also, the use of Http::post() instead of MWHttpRequest::factory()->execute()
means that the status object generated by the Http module is thrown away. So
very little information could be reported to the user even if warnings were
checked for.
The subscription step failed for me once and then worked the next three times.
I don't know why.
