Upgrade MediaWiki

Post #1 of 4 (402 views)

Hi,

I'm moving an old MediaWiki on to a new server, so I'm going through the
MediaWIki Upgrade procedure (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading).
I'm trying to do the alternate install so that our patch process keeps it
up to date but I'm not finding mediawiki when listing. I set up EPEL so I
can see the packages:

rpm -Uvh
https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

But then I look for the mediawiki packages like this, but nothing shows:

# yum list 'mediawiki*'

Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, rhnplugin, search-disabled-repos,
subscription-manager

This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.

Error: No matching Packages to list

All I see is this:

# yum list '*mediawiki*'

Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, rhnplugin, search-disabled-repos,
subscription-manager

This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.

Installed Packages

drupal7-mediawiki_api.noarch
1.0-0.14.rc1.el7 @epel

libmediawiki.x86_64 4.10.0-7.el7
@epel

libmediawiki-devel.x86_64 4.10.0-7.el7
@epel

python-simplemediawiki.noarch
1.2.0-0.3.b2.el7 @epel

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Eric

Is this documentation invalid? It's not working for me.

The steps in the documentation are correct: If there is no MediaWiki
package for your distribution anymore, then your query for the [non-
existing] MediaWiki package will correctly show no results.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1579121#c2

Please feel free to enhance the documentation to be clearer.

Cheers,
andre
