Description of problem: The file: /usr/share/doc/mediawiki119-1.19.1/README.RPM states: 4) allow write access to /var/www/mediawiki119/config by: chmod a+w /var/www/mediawiki119/config but the file does not exist [root@centos-6 ~]# chmod a+w /var/www/mediawiki119/config chmod: cannot access `/var/www/mediawiki119/config': No such file or directory [root@centos-6 ~]# rpm -ql mediawiki119 | grep config$ /usr/share/mediawiki119/mw-config /var/www/mediawiki119/mw-config /var/www/mediawiki119/mw-config/mw-config I suspect the mw-prefixed file is expected, but ...

looking further, mw-config seems to be a sym link: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 33 Dec 7 15:17 mw-config -> /usr/share/mediawiki119/mw-config
I note that there is a security update and later 1.20 mediawiki out there.
Hi RP We are rolling out 1.19.3 as soon as we can.. but will not be doing 1.20 in EPEL due to it has a 6 month lifetime before 1.21 is put out. 1.19 is supposed to stay fresh until the current Debian release ends (or 2 years which ever comes first :)).. so I am going to keep on that until the next LTS is out. Will fix the mw-config issue in the 1.19.3 update.
This has been delayed some, but will be submitted after the 1.19.5-1 security update is pushed to stable (so in about two weeks from now).
mediawiki119-1.19.6-1.el6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 6. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2013-5649/mediawiki119-1.19.6-1.el6

Please note that your rpm -q mediawiki119 reports mediawiki119-1.19.5-1.el6.noarch, while, as reported by the update system, this has been fixed in mediawiki119-1.19.6-1.el6.noarch. This update is not yet in the stable repositories, but should land somewhere in the next two weeks, at which point this bug will automatically be updated. If you require the new version now, you should be able to retrieve it by running yum update mediawiki119 --enablerepo=epel-testing .
ahh --- I missed that an update did not catch the new candidate .. will look. Thank you
mediawiki119-1.19.6-1.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
