305556 - Create Mediawiki 1.5b4 test install for Devmo

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Deb Richardson [:dria] (plz NEEDINFO)]

Mediawiki 1.5beta4 is, as far as I can tell, the last 1.5 version available
prior to 1.6 alpha.

We need to test the 1.4.7 to 1.5b4 upgrade process as well, however, so maybe
creating a 1.4.7 test install (with all our SSO patches and various extensions
installed and working) then updating that to 1.5b4 would be the best bet.  I'll
leave that up to you, however.

Once a 1.5b4 install is available, we need to make sure the single-sign-on patch
works, and that the breadcrumbs/titleoverride extension combination works.  Both
of these require DB changes, I believe, so are the most likely things to break
or cause problems.

Timeline: ASAP (ain't it always the way?).  We're hoping to take Devmo to Beta
this week (or early next).  If getting the wikis upgraded in this timeframe
isn't feasible, that's fine, just let me know so I can work around the 1.4.7
limitations for the Beta.

I would also like to knock out bug 302983 when we do this.... just a heads up.

If we can, that's great, but I don't want the Doxygen stuff necessarily blocking
beta.  Beta right now means "upgraded wikis + skins + some crazy last-minute
content tweaking".  Doxygen would be an extra added bonus prize, but not
critical for beta.

I have everything built -- just need to install it. It is currently running on
another machine and seems happy. Just needs to be tested.

Created a devmowiki module in CVS with a mediawiki vendor branch. Latest
devmo'ifed tag is DEVMOWIKI_1_5RC2_RELEASE. Please update anything that was in
mozilla-org/wiki/ using this module from now on.

It incorporates the two patches (sso and redirect), LanguageJa.php, custom
skins, and extensions.

This creates peace between sysadmins and patch happy devmoites.
