Dist Fedora Esm H88
Important patch for MediaWiki on Fedora 10: mitigates XSS vulnerabilities, improves installation features.
This update fixes the XSS vulnerabilities in 1.13.3 and splits the package into a non-math and a full package to allow for smaller installs where embedded math is not required.

Summary

MediaWiki is the software used for Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia

Foundation websites. Compared to other wikis, it has an excellent

range of features and support for high-traffic websites using multiple

servers

This package supports wiki farms. Copy /var/www/wiki over to the

desired wiki location and configure it through the web

interface. Remember to remove the config dir after completing the

configuration.

This update fixes the XSS vulnerabilities in 1.13.3 and splits the package into

a non-math and a full package to allow for smaller installs where embedded math

is not required.
