I read this on mediawiki.org:

"If your MediaWiki installation is heavily modified, it may be  
difficult to incorporate the latest official changes/updates to  
MediaWiki. To support such users, we maintain old branches of our code  
for up to a year."

Therefore I thought mediawiki-1.14.1 would be the best release to  
backport to pkgsrc-2009Q2, in order to fix the security issue in the  
older release.

I can fix patches for mediawiki-1.15.1 to current if someone backport  
1.14.1 to pkgsrc-2009Q2 first...
Deal? :-)
