Perhaps ditching the absolutely useless svnversion param to $wgExtensionCredits entirely. Its redundant to version and provides (as mentioned) nothing of any real use.

This produces massively incorrect numbers in many cases, since the entry point file is relatively rarely changed in non-trivial extensions consisting of multiple files. Updates to the body, class, i18n, and other files are not reflected. If we're running on a SVN checkout of the extension, we could check the directory for its current revision much as we do for MediaWiki itself; this would tell us for instance if an extension's subdirectory has been updated separately from the core MediaWiki. But if we aren't on a SVN checkout, or if individual files have been updated to different versions, this may or may not tell us anything useful. Anybody have a suggestion on how to best handle this? - -- brion -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklb6VcACgkQwRnhpk1wk44MNACg2c0ztpocjHfsb5l+KxSu8e+I wXgAoMSrjFeTPzEnMY4904bxXZv+DiYf =GNqG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
