I would like to install mediawiki using postgresql rather than mysql. At one time there was some useful documentation on creating a local port tree as well as guidance on writing a portfile. It seems that the site http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ that had the documentation is no longer in existence. Can somebody direct me to where I might find answers to the questions that I seek? Thanks, George
Hi George,
I would like to install mediawiki using postgresql rather than mysql. At one time there was some useful documentation on creating a local port tree as well as guidance on writing a portfile. It seems that the site http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ that had the documentation is no longer in existence. Can somebody direct me to where I might find answers to the questions that I seek?
I've just put some brief instructions on the website [1]. See how you go with those, and let me know if you have any problems. (The old documentation is still in the Subversion repository, but needs updating.)

As an aside: Note that the mediawiki port is way out of date. It's at version 1.6.3, and MediaWiki 1.10.0 was just released. My manually- installed MediaWiki installation on my laptop is also woefully out of date, so maybe I'll switch to using MacPorts for this and update the portfile.

I did this recently, though not with macports. I just downloaded the source from the mediawiki site. There were a few snags I ran into along the way but for the most part the docs on the mediawiki site were enough to get me through it. If that doesn't do it for you let me know. Rick
