However neither appear to have MediaWiki included.
Is anybody else running / trying to run MediaWiki on openSUSE 11.1?
Yeah, but I just downloaded the tarball and extracted it.
C'est la vie.
This is why I defer installing new systems as long as possible...
I have to say - with mediawiki, moodle and other similar php-only applications, I always just install the tarball. It's just as easy, and I don't see much need for package management, dependencies and all that.
Today, I talked with anicka, the former MediaWiki Factory maintainer. The reasons she gave for dropping the package from Factory: 1) Vast majority of its users downloaded the upstream tarball anyway 2) It was very hard to do an update process correctly with package manager - according to what she has said, it didn't work under some special circumstances (I don't remember the details). -- Best regards / s pozdravem Petr Uzel, Packages maintainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: puzel@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 964 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
