Rolling my own from scratch doesn't seem ideal either. > Usually it's being produced by web installer. http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/config/Installer.php?view=markup New installer is large and I haven't studied it throughly. I am more often upgrading from old versions than install from scratch. However, when upgrading from old version, you have to add new options manually by observing the HISTORY file. http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/HISTORY?view=markup I wish the installer was able to parse original settings and warn of something outdated. However, that might make it really over complicated.
