Commit maintenance/dev/ a set of bash scripts that can quickly download php 5.4, install it in an isolated area, install a quick development copy of MediaWiki, and then start up a local webserver. Comment: Before we go adding dependencies like pake to something that is supposed to work without any dependency on pre-installed php much less a non-default pear module, I'd like to have someone actually make sure that the installation steps on Windows works seamlessly. Using something cross platform but non-native is completely pointless if the configure / install of php chokes up in ANY way at all. Looking at php's Windows site makes me think using the same pattern for installing php as we use on unix-like systems won't work sanely on Windows and you need a complete separate set of steps dedicated to Windows for it to work. ie: Someone should consider writing a .bat for Windows. ((Really? "To install php 5.4 and MediaWiki together please ensure you have a fully functional php installation, pear, and the pake pear package on your system.")) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
