Hi all!
Hope this is the right section for my question ...
Anyway I need to upgrade from mediawiki 1.15 to 1.16 (because of an extension) and the last version in repo is 1.15.1.

I don't want to install anything without a repo behind, in worst case I use my local repo :-)
Does anybody know of another repo providing this or at least when there will be an update to 1.16 or where I may get this information from (a webside about coming updates?).

Thanks in advance,
Cyber1000

I have the same question. Any replies?

Nobody replied, so I downloaded the mediawiki sources and built my own package on my own ubuntu-repo. (No good packaging I must admit ...). Last time I've read a little bit in packaging, but I think for most users this will be a little bit too much (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete).
I'll rebuild the package in the next days and if it works I may post it here ... or upload it somewhere ...

Ok it seems like somebody has done this before, you have to add a ppa to your sources. Go to https://launchpad.net/~sdeziel/+archive/mediawiki.
I'll test this in the next days and mark this solution as solved.
