That's basically what it does already, but it does it by patching the setup code. I'd rather see a distributed LocalSettings.php file which pulls in the necessary sub-config files. That can be done without any changes to our source. > The update process would just need to iterate on them running update.php > > Then for the installer we could ask the user to overwrite a file with > the download, overwrite it ourselves from the web installer or create > another installer, this one to be run from command line by dpkg. > > Does anyone see a problem with that approach? The web installer should not be a part of installation from a package at all. We should just get the wiki name from debconf, use the system locale as the language, and install it with defaults otherwise. Then the user will have a working wiki after install. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
