Re: [MediaWiki-l] What PHP version do you use? (Chris Koerner)

I concur with those who mention the difficulty of upgrading. I'm running MW 1.26.0 in a single-click installation on AWS. Other products I use -- including open source -- have a graceful and online update process. MW is built by developers for developers. I'm not a developer and every time I

I fully agree with David Shaw. I just posted the following: Why, oh why is this environment getting so complex for users who have no > terminal access to their server? Or am I the only one? > > Many extensions can only be installed via Composer. VisualEditor requires > Parsoid. And so on. It's

[MediaWiki-l] [Cargo] Submitting a patch?

Hi all, I have a small patch to submit. I got dev access. However, I'm getting a "Permission denied (publickey)" error when attempting to clone the core. I did look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Advanced_usage#SSH_and_.22permission_denied_.28publickey.29.22 and I'm not quite sure

I tend to believe you, Tyler. Copying files into proper locations has been the way I installed all my extensions. But looking at Maps for example, one reads: ( https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/Maps/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md) PHPMediaWikiComposerValidatorMaps 3.3.x & 3.4.x5.3.2 - 5.6.x1.18 - 1.25

Re: [MediaWiki-l] What PHP version do you use? (Chris Koerner)

Just wanna say that it's unfair to group Composer into that. I understand the difficult of multi-platform support (specifically throwing node.js and other things into the mix), but Composer is just, at it's base, a PHP file manager. Any extension that can "only be installed with Composer", can

Re: [MediaWiki-l] What PHP version do you use? (Chris Koerner)

Tyler, I agree composer is a great tool if you can run it. And I agree most extensions that need be installed via composer can be done without, but how clear is that to the average Mediawiki website operator? Put yourself in the shoes of someone who runs a Wordpress site and than also tries to
