Description orcmid 2012-05-21 19:35:59 UTC
There is a request for upgrading of the version of MediaWiki at <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4816>.

In addition, there are requests for addition of extensions spread around ooo-dev.  This new issue is to capture that in one place and have somewhere to account for it.  (Perhaps separate issues are more appropriate, but the committers working on the upgrades can determine that.)

Math Extension - important for materials on Calc and OpenFormula

please have also a look, whether texvc is

Comment 1 T. J. Frazier 2012-05-21 21:08:14 UTC
*Math extension:
Please note that the math syntax was (supposed to be) supported internally until MW version 1.18, and we are running 1.15.5. However, the transition from internal to extension was underway at this point. I'm reasonably sure we are seeing a bug here, rather than merely missing the extension; a bug which probably was fixed somewhere between 1.15.5 and 1.18.
If we upgrade to 1.18 or higher, we definitely want to add the Math extension.

*Upgrade Caution:
Both Terry and Clayton warned about MW tables labelled as "Latin1" but actually containing UTF-8 data. A little MySQL magic supposedly can fix this fairly easily, but if it isn't done, we would be badly hosed when coming up on the newer version.

*ATS:
Some adjustment is required to prevent ATS from serving up stale pages.

*IDL Tags extension (locally written):
According to Clayton Cornell, the "documented source" code was not properly updated when the <idlml> tag processing was added. As now installed, the extension does not process <idlml>, but we may be able to recover the proper version:
C writes, "... if you've got any Wiki engine history still hanging
around, you or I may be able to rescue the <idlml> tag coding.  When I
was maintaining the Wiki backend, I usually kept older copies of the
wiki engine around in the tree just in case I needed anything after an
upgrade/update.  Stuff sometimes fell off after upgrading.  There was
a "backup" directory (in the root not in the Wiki tree though... so
maybe it's been lost?) and I also kept a second directory in the Wiki
tree with the previous version of the Wiki engine... which would
include an older version of the extension."

No defect.

Sorry I did not read this till now.  I have checked the system today, and noticed the same issue as Frazier described.

I shall take more time to see if upgrade of MediaWiki is possible.
Comment 4 imacat@mail.imacat.idv.tw 2012-05-27 05:38:46 UTC
I applied some fix to the wiki.  This problem should be fixed.  Please check and confirm if this issue still exists.

Please reply if it is fixed, so that this issue ticket can be closed.

Fixes:
* Compiled texvc
* Installed texlive-latex-base
* Cleaned-up math cache

@imacat: Thank you very much! Math issue has gone away.

AFAIK upgrade, ATS, and IDL issues remain.
Comment 6 imacat@mail.imacat.idv.tw 2012-05-27 12:41:48 UTC
So this issue is concentrated on MediaWiki upgrade?

Sorry I misunderstand it. ^^;  I thought it was about Math plugin.  I have tight schedule this week.  I might look into the system upgrade issue in a couple of weeks.
Comment 7 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2012-06-13 12:17:17 UTC
getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity".
For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
