Web browser: --- Bug #: 30565 Summary: Mediawiki REL1_18 contains SMW in version 1.6 RC1 with several bugs, please backport a stable SMW like Version 1.6.2 to REL1_18 Product: MediaWiki extensions Version: any Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: Semantic MediaWiki AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: g.m.haged...@gmail.com CC: jeroen_ded...@yahoo.com Classification: Unclassified The to-be "stable" release REL1.18 has several extensions with bugs. For example the SMW extensions are in "1.6 RC1" with several bugs (e.g. 30304). Please update the stable releases so that the extensions (in general all, in this case the SMW-related ones) are also stable and bug-free. Background problem: bugs in extensions of "stable" mediawiki releases seem to be only fixed in the wmf-branch, not elsewhere. However, the wmf-branch is not reusable (see bug 30519) and developers advise third parties against using it (e.g. Reedy in Bug 30490, or Bug 30487). The checkout of stable releases does come with all extensions, including the SMW ones. But unless the bugs in extensions are fixed, the resulting "stable" version after switching from "alpha" to "release" will be stable only with respect to core without extensions. This is not a realistic use-case of mediawiki. Conversely, in our experience, it is not generally possible to use trunk extensions with "stable releases". Unless fixing the bugs also occurs in releases, it makes it hard to use mediawiki. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
