https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47431 --- Comment #22 from PleaseStand pleasest...@live.com --- I have updated https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22 and the installer (in gerrit 86696). However, something that slightly worries me is that according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/php5-json, php-json (pecl-json-c) is in universe (i.e. is not an officially supported Ubuntu package). That means Canonical won't necessarily issue security updates for it. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdateProcedures#Responsibility -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

I note that a Debian or Ubuntu user is likely to have to install at least php5-mysql or another such package to have database support. We could as easily mention the requirement for php5-json at the same time. If we do decide to not include a pure-PHP implementation, I will have to make two small changes to the installer, though that shouldn't be a big deal at all. (a) Adding a new environmental check for json_encode() or json_decode() (b) Removing one of the two uses of Xml::encodeJsVar. This is for JS encoding an array of database types that doesn't seem to be used anywhere, and which in any case should be alphanumeric (thus simple to encode). I'll also note that compatibility code does not necessarily have to be included in core MediaWiki, if loading extension code early in the startup process (including the installation process) is allowed for. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47431 --- Comment #10 from PleaseStand pleasest...@live.com --- (In reply to comment #6) Krinkle: I have been working on a polyfill to emulate all PHP 5.5 JSON features as accurately as possible while exceeding the performance of Services_JSON. So far, I have an implementation of json_encode() that seems to work OK, although I shall perform more extensive testing. I'll see if I can start working on the decoder this week. Debian has now packaged PECL jsonc under the php5-json package name (which used to be a virtual package pointing to php5-common). Right now, the new package is only in sid (unstable) and is not part of a released version of Debian. I have not yet tested it with MediaWiki. http://packages.debian.org/sid/php5-json JsonFallback status update: I have been working on the tokenization and string unescaping routines, and hopefully, the decoder will be ready sometime next week. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

Though that is still various months away, we can't risk releasing a MediaWiki version that does not work on a PHP version compiled by Debian or Fedora.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47431 --- Comment #3 from PleaseStand pleasest...@live.com --- (In reply to comment #2) God help me. Just when I thought the Services_JSON class was gone for good... I do of course agree with the upstream classification. MediaWiki shouldn't have to work around the problem, but rather PHP should be fixed. The main reason I reverted the changes on REL1_21 was to avoid a worst-case scenario in which the problem would remain uncorrected, and in response, Debian and Fedora would start compiling PHP without JSON support, and MediaWiki 1.21 would not work for users of these Linux distributions. (In reply to comment #0) Until such time a version of the native JSON extension exists that does not depend on any non-free component, MediaWiki should continue to provide a pure PHP fallback under the terms of the GPL or another free license, or at least make one easy to use if necessary. Reverting the change on REL1_21 means we have six months to either fix the problem upstream or work around the problem in MediaWiki. I'm investigating the former: the feasibility of replacing Crockford's JSON_checker with a different library. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
