# mwman - A package manager for MediaWiki

mwman is a python-based package manager for the MediaWiki wiki software.

It strives to automate the installation of extensions, skins and even MediaWiki itself.

**Warning**: mwman is still in early development and may not be ideal for your production environment needs. Be cautious and have backups!

## Usage

```sh

$ mwman install checkuser $PATH_TO_WIKI # Installs and enables the checkuser extension

$ mwman uninstall checkuser $PATH_TO_WIKI # Removes it again

$ mwman activate/deactivate checkuser $PATH_TO_WIKI # Activate / Deaectivate an extension

$ mwman install-mediawiki master $PATH_TO_WIKI # Installs the master branch of MediaWiki into $PATH_TO_WIKI

```

## Limitations / Issues

- Real support is only provided for the latest master version

- No support for sets of packages

- Many steps of the MediaWiki installation still have to be done manually

- The extension loader is not a proper extension itself

- No search feature

- No support for third-party repositories

- Only supports git for obtaining packages

- No support for different versions of packages

- Very limited metadata information

- No way to view package details

These may change as the project progresses in maturity.
