Description of problem: Having a README.FEDORA and README.EPEL (or INSTALL.FEDORA) is an important piece of missing information with this package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mediawiki-1.14.0-45.fc10.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install mediawiki 2. rpm -qd mediawiki Actual results: The README indicates that the INSTALL file should be referenced for installation instructions. Expected results: There is no INSTALL file. Additional info: * A recent post on epel-devel-list also notes that if we just add an INSTALL.FEDORA (or similar) file it might help clear things up - https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2009-March/msg00017.html
For some reason, it's not listed by that rpm query - it's found in here: /usr/share/mediawiki
(In reply to comment #0) > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. yum install mediawiki > 2. rpm -qd mediawiki Have you tried rpm -qi?
It still doesn't solve the problem that the README file says to read the INSTALL file... which isn't listed by the RPM.
# rpm -q mediawiki mediawiki-1.14.0-45.fc10.x86_64 # rpm -ql mediawiki | grep README /usr/share/doc/mediawiki-1.14.0/README This is the upstream README file. What is needed is a distro specific README in addition to the upstream README file that outlined a few setup steps. I would recommend a README.FEDORA that lists a similar setup procedure to that noted in https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2009-March/msg00020.html.
Hi, thanks for the bug report, it looks like you aren't alone in wanting a better documented install process. Bugs for the issues you bring up have been filed at bug 475841 and bug 459532 and unfortunately, have had no maintainer response in 7 months and 11 months, respectively. In bug 475841, the reporter even wrote a draft of what a README.FEDORA would look like. Hopefully we can polish up the file posted in the first bug and then see if we can get any maintainer attention on this issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 475841 ***
