What is so annoying?
New versions of MoinMoin bring convenience features to users. But projects
such as SCons, python.org and Ubuntu can't upgrade their MoinMoin wikies
easily because of fair number of applied customizations.
What should be done?
Workflow that will allow admins maintain installation specific
customizations of MoinMoin in DVCS (Mercurial). It should make
significantly easier to apply plugins and patches against constantly
upgrading upstream version.
Skills/tools required?
Mercurial, Python
Any specific conditions, products, versions?
1.6.3 http://www.scons.org/wiki/SystemInfo
1.7.1 http://wiki.python.org/moin/SystemInfo
1.6.3 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemInfo
Please provide any additional information below.
The workflow should be defined clear enought for people with little or no
Mercurial experience. It should cover scenarios when local patch is
integrated upstream, when it conflicts. It may happen that tools will be
born to hide underlying Mercurial/MQ complexity where possible.
