Oh.
Although most of debian_specific_config.patch may have been merged the
upstream, the last part hasn't. It is needed to load
/etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions.php, which is the basis of the extensions
mechanism.
Thanks, added it back (for now, in SVN).
Thanks
I recommend that the snippet above be restored, but in system files rather
than in LocalSettings.php. The snippet is necessary for the Debian
mediawiki-extensions system to work, so it is not local configuration.
No, LocalSettings.php is the place this *must* go (which is also
the reason e.g. I didn’t notice it earlier, as the FusionForge
LocalSettings contain this inclusion) because it doesn’t use the
require_once statement. Adding it *also* in some other place
would include it twice, which *will* break existing installations,
both these where it’s part of the admin’s setup and these where
it’s part of the code (such as fusionforge-plugin-mediawiki).
Yeah, that’s sad.
Maybe we should note this in NEWS.Debian or something? jmw?
There's a very simple solution to that which would solve even more
problems. Unfortunately, it requires a larger change.
/etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions.php is not a "configuration file",
but rather a file which has loading configuration files as its role.
Therefore, it should not be in /etc/. By moving it in the codebase and
forcing its inclusion in the main codebase (or just adding its content
to a setup file), we would make sure the extensions system keeps working
no matter how the machine is configured.
By the way, the extensions list needs an update at least for Interwiki.
Which list, where?
The list of extensions in
/etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-available/ has nothing for
Interwiki (except a symlink to its predessors, SpecialInterwiki).
