In an effort to try to reduce and eliminate Wordpress's reliance on bundled PHP libraries, I've produced some test builds.  If someone familiar with administering Wordpress and Wordpress-mu could test to make sure the changes don't break anything and let me know, what would be wonderful and appreciated.

be happy if it keeps getting maintained." in the last reply in fedora devel list. I think it will much much if we can update wordpress to 3.x. 2.8 branch is pretty old, and few people want to test it(2.9 is very mature now and 3.0 is also released a while ago).

Adrian(CCd), if you like, orphan both wordpress and wordpress-mu, and I'll take over. If I do, I plan to update wordpress to 3.0.1 and EOL wordpress-mu. Looking for a few seconds at 3.0.1, it looks like there are still quite a few things bundled, but at least there will be a greater chance of compatibility with the system versions. I hope. <gulp> -J -- - in your fear, speak only peace in your fear, seek only love -d. bowie

Has anyone worked on separating out TinyMCE and packaging it separately? I know there are a lot of web apps that use it... It does.

I have not heard anything from the Fedora branches owner in a very long time so we need the help of someone with more pkgdb power to orphan it. Adrian
