Guys,
I'm migrating an internal Mediawiki over to a new CentOS 4 system. The old server's running FC3 and has a tarball install, ideally I want to stick to properly packaged software as far as possible.
[wmcdonald@willspc ~]$ yum deplist mediawiki Finding dependencies: Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files package: mediawiki.i386 1.4.7-1.2.el4.rf dependency: tetex-latex provider: tetex-latex.i386 2.0.2-22.EL4.7 dependency: tetex-dvips provider: tetex-dvips.i386 2.0.2-22.EL4.7 dependency: ImageMagick provider: ImageMagick.i386 6.0.7.1-14 dependency: mysql-server >= 3.2.0 provider: mysql-server.i386 4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 dependency: php >= 4.3.11 Unsatisfied dependency
Looking at the RPMForge mediawiki package, it requires php >= 4.3.11 which isn't available either from RPMForge or CentOS 4 base. php-4.3.9-3.9 seems to be the latest.
What's the best way to proceed here then? I noticed there are PHP5 packages in the centosplus repo, but those wouldn't be available to an RHEL system.
iirc, thats a build issue from sometime back - if its not fixed yet, Dag would rebuild the rpm :)
Actually the mediawiki rpm is NOT ready. The SPEC file is not in subversion and the RPMs should not have been released. It was a work in progress (so the packages should have at least been marked as test).
That's also why it was never updated or anything and have not been tested by me. I fixed it now, the mediawiki package will be removed from the repository in my next update.
Sorry for that.
