1.19 already. Any chance at least for Fedora 17 or 18? +1 to this. This package has stagnated since May 2011 -- well over a year: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2514 There have been a number of security flaws fixed since then, see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/News It's a bad idea to continue distributing ancient versions of mediawiki with numerous security flaws. It makes both Fedora and mediawiki look bad. If there is not enough time to keep this package up to date then please consider dropping mediawiki from the Fedora repositories. The users will have to deal with the tarball from upstream but at least they won't be running outdated versions with security flaws. I'd like to point out that there's mediawiki119 as well (F18, F19 and EL6): http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=13960 Maybe you're right that plain mediawiki should be dropped since it receives no security updates. Perhaps spec from mediawiki119 should be used for updating mediawiki, and mediawiki119 should be dropped instead. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Coming soon to a Fedora repo near you... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 909908 *** |
