Hi,
I was pretty surprised to find no MediaWiki packages in the 11.1 distribution nor on the Build Service (there are auxiliary packages, but not MediaWiki itself).
Am I looking in the wrong place??
Using the MediaWiki tar ball and following the directions in the set-up script seems easy enough to me. http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.13/mediawiki-1.13.3.tar.gz
Installing a major component outside the RPM system is not something I prefer doing, if an alternative is at all possible. (Yes, I'm aware of an do use checkinstall in these circumstances, though my past experience is that it only works for about half of the projects that have "make install" targets. Maybe that's improved in later versions.) I'll go this route if forced, but given the popularity of MediaWiki and its open-source status, it seems like something that ought to be included in the distribution.
