[Libmesh-devel] Wiki upgraded

[John P. <pet...@cf...>]

Hi all,

Our recent wiki vandalism had the side-effect of getting
our Wiki upgraded.  We went from:

MediaWiki: 1.4.5
MySQL: 3.23.58

to:

MediaWiki: 1.5.0
MySQL: 4.1.12

This was necessary since SF is upgrading MySQL to version 4 and
discontinuing 3.x.  The new wiki can be accessed at libmesh.sf.net/new_wiki,
while the old one is still at libmesh.sf.net/wiki until we get the whole
thing transferred over or they shut it down some time in November.

Unfortunately, this upgrade hasn't fixed the problem where it is very
difficult to update, and often requires you to hit Alt-S a ton of times.
I thought this might be fixed with a new version of MySQL, but no such
luck.

Another issue is that I couldn't find an automatic way to upgrade
simultaneously both the DB and the MediaWiki version, so I've been
recreating it by hand.  Luckily it wasn't very large, but I know I
have forgotten some stuff so if you could re-add it yourselves that
would be much appreciated.
