At least I haven't. > -Niklas No, not at all. They never were and never will. In svn we have: [mediawiki] - trunk/ - - phase3/ - - extensions/ Extensions has always been besides never inside core. Of course in unversioned installations (e.g. tarballs) we put extensions in the extensions subdirectory. And even in versioned installations, one can * git clone individual extensions in the extensions directory * git clone extensions next to core and place symlinks for invidual extensions in the extensions directory But if someone simply clones the mediawiki/extensions.git tracking repository, then it is kind of annoying to have to put symlinks in place. I have my local dev environment set up like this: $wgScriptPath = '/mediawiki/core'; $wgExtensionAssetsPath = '/mediawiki/extensions'; $extDir = dirname( $IP ) . '/extensions'; require_once( "$extDir/Vector/Vector.php" ); Anyway, </offtopic> -- Krinkle _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
