hi,
The current mediawiki package puts the temporary writable config dir in
/usr/share which AFAIK violates FHS - /usr should only be written during
package (de)installation. I checked out the mediawiki package in fedora
and I think we should use it as a base for the mageia package. Significant
differences are:
- tex (tetex/texlive) dependency separated into a mediawiki-math pkg
- separate code (in /usr/share) from configuration (user defined, e.g.
/var/www or /srv) and allow multiple wiki configs
I got it working on mageia cauldron after fixing installation for
postgresql databases, but my package is not finished: I didn't check yet
if anything should be merged from the mageia/mandriva package, and I had
to configure the apache side manually, while I would expect some parts to
be preconfigured.
So is this a good plan, and is anyone interested in (co-)maintaining such
a package?
