 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? :-)
