Two questions about mediawiki that I didn't find in the misc archives:
1. On a 4.2 i386 box, installing mediawiki from ports died during tk
install with the header error pasted below. This box has xbase installed
but none of the rest of the X stuff.
How to remedy?
2. The package and port are version 1.9 while current stable source is
at version 1.12. The release notes for 1.10-1.12 mention fixes for some
cross-side scripting and other vulnerabilities.
For OBSD boxes I understand that packages are preferred and often
improve on security, protocol and code correctness, and documentation
compared with similar releases for other OSs.
Purely from a security standpoint, which is preferabe: installing the
1.9 version from packages or ports, or building the current release from
sources?
thanks
