Package: mediawiki1.7 Severity: minor Hi,
There are various problems with the debconf templates of mediawiki1.7. Here are my comments: >Template: mediawiki/upgrade-1d4 >Type: note >_Description: You are upgrading from mediawiki 1.4 You should rephrase this sentence to be in the form of a title, for example: Upgrade from mediawiki 1.4 > This package will install its files in a new location: > /var/lib/mediawiki1.7 Note that this wrapping has no effect, unless you add a double space at the beginning of the line. > Then this is up to you to make the transition of your > old mediawiki I'm not sure here, but I think "up to you" means something like "if you want". Something like "You will then have to make..." may be better. > There is no clear upgrade path from upstream authors, so > prepare for a tricky work and don't forget to backup your > database and files. I find this sentence too familiar. I don't think the "from upstream authors" is needed. I feel it only as a way to say "this is not my fault if this is hard" :-) I would rephrase the whole sentence as following: There is no clear way to upgrade the package. You will therefore have to do this manually. Do not forget to backup the previous database and files. > Usefull and important notes are provided with this package, > Please read them deeply before doing anything. They can be > found there: /usr/share/doc/mediawiki1.7 > >Template: mediawiki/upgrade-1d5 >Type: boolean >Default: true >_Description: Perfrom automatic upgrade from mediawiki1.5? Perfrom -> Perform. > You are upgrading from mediawiki1.5. > . > This package will install its files in a new location: > /var/lib/mediawiki1.7 Same thing about the wrapping. > Then you need to upgrade your old mediawiki1.5 A period is missing at the end of the sentence. > This package provides a script to do this automatically. > The script will make a backup of your database, upgrade it, and > prepare a new configuration file for your new mediawiki. You > will still be able to use this script later, by calling, as root, > /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/debian-scripts/upgrade-mediawiki.5 typo: the script is upgrade-mediawiki1.5 (missing 1). >Template: mediawiki/upgrade-1d5-adminuser >Type: string >Default: root >_Description: Administrative user for mediawiki1.7: > Please provide a mysql account that has administrative access to your old > mediawiki1.5 database. > . > If you don't know about this, you can give the root user here. I would rephrase: If you don't know any account, the root user is sufficient. > An AdminSettings.php file will be generated with this, and this file be > be removed if you gave the root account, obviously. What does "with this" mean here? I don't think it's so obvious the file will be removed. There is a typo: "be be" instead of "will be". >Template: mediawiki/upgrade-1d5-adminpass >Type: password >Default: Empty default, should probably be removed. >_Description: Administrative password for mediawiki1.7: > Please give the password for the account you specified. This sentence should be rephrased. You are asking the password for "the account I specified". However, I haven't been asked anything related with mediawiki1.7. As the templates has "1d5" in its name, I wonder if it's not just a typo, i.e. it should be Administrative password for mediawiki1.5: Cheers, -- Thomas Huriaux
