No, I’ve got no resources to follow this myself. If a given Mediawiki version does not work with PostgreSQL it’s not a valid candidate for me. Plain and simple. If the other maintainers disagree, I’ll have to use a local package instead of using the one in stock Debian and contributing to it. But I wish there were some way we could change this problem upstream, i.e. make them see supporting a real DB (someone even suggested Horracle!) important. I’d not upload something to Debian I couldn’t use. bye, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-314 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Boris Esser, Sebastian Mancke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
