I plan to EOL mediawiki for the EPEL releases for EL-4,5,6 due to packaging newer ones using mediawiki114,mediawiki115, mediawiki116.
There are several ways I can do this:
- change mediawiki114 to replace mediawiki. Pros would allow people
to keep a package on their system. COns most likely will break due to linking and changes in package.
- put out a final mediawiki package with a "Please dont use." in
README and %description.
- just remove from system.
I need input and help on getting this done.
Thankyou.
I like option #1. Are you tracking this in a bugzilla somewhere? I would be happy to "help" insofar as testing this new package (the upgrade side-effects mainly).
.. however, I think this provides the best opportunity for a "better" upgrade path. We could document upgrade hurdles we find either on the wiki or in a README.Fedora file (or both).
