Portability

I have long been using mediawiki with a LAMP stack as a personal and home wiki. One of the main inconveniences is that it's not easy to move the wiki around to another machine. It involves dumping the database, copying various files etc. Is Mediawikilite more portable? Parker 11:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Debian package

I wonder how far we are from having a mediawikilite debian package that installs dependencies (e.g. php5+sqlite+nanoweb) and runs "out of the box". It could significantly increase the number of users if Debian and Ubuntu users were only one apt-get away from using mediawikilite. Are there any technical hurdles? Parker 11:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

The main hold up really was MediaWiki's SQLite layer which I originally started off, but didn't have the SQL skills to get it to a stable state. But I tested it out not long ago and Brion, Tim Starling and a few others have done a lot of work on it and got it working pretty solidly. I'll take a look at building a deb package for it, but I've got a lot on so it'll probably be slow progress. --nad 03:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
