As long as the change does not inhibit extensions from hooking in and using other CSS pre-processors, I don't see any issue with using LESS in core.
The one other thing I'm concerned about is why we're using Memcached so much for file caching (we use it to cache the results of CSS minification, and now we'd be using it for LESS compulation as well). Once this patch is merged, we'd be caching two-three copies of every static file in MediaWiki in a completely in-memory network cache. Why are we not just putting them in a file cache? *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2016 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | [email protected] On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 8:14 PM, Steven Walling <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi all, > > I'll keep this short.
