question about mediawiki in portage
Hi List,

I was thinking of trying out mediawiki on my Gentoo system, and could
not find an ebuild to it, but I did find there was a defect in
bugs.gentoo.org for the ebuild:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37894

Can anyone tell me how long a submitted ebuild script takes to get
from bugs.g.o to "~x86" or "stable"?

On another note... say I can't wait for the gentoo developers to
approve the script, can I just run the script off my PC (in that
overlay directory) or would it be better I just download the tar ball
from http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/ ? My motivation on this is the
http://gentoo-wiki.com/ site (as well as the wikipedia site -
http://en.wikipedia.org/ ) and how good it appears to look and work.

Any assistance or comments provided would be greatly appreciated...

...Ric

I had no trouble setting up mediawiki from the tarball, both on my
home desktop (Gentoo) and a machine at work (Windows 2000 Pro). The
installation - even from the tarball - is extremely easy...
