^demon <innocentkil...@gmail.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |innocentkil...@gmail.com Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID --- Comment #6 from ^demon <innocentkil...@gmail.com> 2009-04-23 00:46:59 UTC --- Marking as INVALID. > Why? > 1. Of the thousands of operations on a running Mediawiki wiki, this is > the only one that writes into the local filesystem instead of the > database. > Because it's faster than using the database, and it's no big deal. > What's wrong with that? > 1. It precludes using a read only filesystem. If it were not for this > one little 14 byte file, one could use a read only filesystem. > If you're really trying to set this up rather than just spouting hypothetical situations, then perhaps I can see the issue. Otherwise we'll end up debating all day over an edge case no one actually has. > 2. One might have several wikis using the same files: > radioscanningtw.jidanni.org -> mediawiki-1.11.0 > taizhongbus.jidanni.org -> mediawiki-1.11.0 > (yes, even the same LocalSettings.php, with appropriate switch()s > inside it.) There is no way two wikis can use the same > searchUpdate.pos.
