Description of problem: The mediawiki spec file doesn't mark the mediawiki.conf configuration file as %config(noreplace), which can cause it to be overwritten during an upgrade. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mediawiki-1.15.4-54 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install an older version of MediaWiki 2. Change the mediawiki.conf file 3. Upgrade to the latest MediaWiki package Actual results: Configuration file gets rewritten, blowing away any changes. Expected results: Configuration file should not be overwritten. Additional info: Unfortunately, this problem caused problems with the Git Wiki. See http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg135057.html for more details.
well it caused problems with not only the Git Wiki, but with all wiki's on kernel.org.
I just got bitten by this when I applied software updates last week and it was upgraded to mediawiki-nomath-1.15.3-53.fc12. (I'm running Fedora 12, BTW.)
I'm going to bump this as I just got hit with it, again, in Fedora 13
