Description of problem: After the latest upgrade to mediawiki, permissions and ownership on the images subdirectory were restored to those set in the package. (Likewise for the config subdirectory.) This breaks image upload capability. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.8.4-8.fc5 (but possibly others too) Expected results: If the images and config subdirectories were tagged %config, would this prevent them from being changed on an upgrade? Alternatively, perhaps they could just be left out of the installed file list altogether, so users could set them up as required during the initial configuration, and wouldn't have to worry about them being changed unexpectedly. Additional info:
%config applies only to files since not all the conditions implied by %config are defined for directories.
Hm, that's a tricky situation. One easy way out would be to unown the dir in the package, but that sounds too messy to be a real solution. I'll check with the packaging folks, maybe someone has a better idea.
