No ldap-support itself doesn't need patching, it's just an extension
to add and some
configuration strings in LocalSettings.php that have to be set after
installation and
initial mediawiki setup.
But shouldn't we use identity.mageia.org instead of mediawiki's own registration
tool? Or can this be done by configuration in LocalSettings.php?
blingme told me in webteam meeting yesterday he could help.

I think, the planned URL was "http://wiki.mageia.org/<langcode>", I
think it's the one
people will go to automatically.

The "prefix" can be chosen in the script as you wish. I personally would use
"mediawiki_<langcode>" myself.

Will do. I will create another rpm today with the ldap extension and
some changes.

I was just reusing the old Mandriva mediawiki src.rpm but I will show
it to him...

You mean two src.rpms? No problem, can be done. I just thought it
would be easier
this way, both flavors do use the same source code after all.
