We are currently undertaking an effort to merge all our patches to our phpwiki source (CVS from early 2002) onto the current phpwiki HEAD so that we can more closely keep track of upstream development and help contribute new features.

This page tracks the patches that we've extracted out of our changes and the status of merging them into our SubVersion repository which contains regularly synched snapshots of phpwiki CVS HEAD. This page is needed because many/most of our patches aren't actually able to be applied straight to phpwiki head as lots of things have changed and many of our features have been implemented in other ways.

The canonical location for the WLUG Wiki Patches against the 2002 CVS snapshot that we use are found at http://www.wlug.org.nz/matt/wlugwiki/

The following sections detail each diff in that directory and it's process in being merged onto head. If you want to help with this process and need access to our SubVersion repository at http://svn.wlug.org.nz/viewcvs/?root=wiki then talk to MattBrown.

I've defined several categories that each diff can be in

  • Unstarted - no one has really looked at merging this diff yet
  • In Progess - someone has taken the diff and is in the process of porting it forward and testing it, please add your name to assigned to
  • Checked In - the forward port has been checked in and is being tested on http://test.wlug.org.nz/
  • Forwarded - The forward port has been tested and sent upstream
  • Accepted - The port is now in phpwiki upstream CVS
  • Complete - WLUG SVN repository has been synched with upstream CVS revision containing the accepted patch

I've also defined several levels of difficulty based on how complex each diff looks to resovle (in my opinion)

  • Trivial - Obvious 1 or 2 line patch
  • Medium - Obvious change but reasonable amount of code
  • Hard - Big structural changes, not obvious how to proceed
