Extension:Deployment Framework

The Deployment Framework is an extension that enables the convenient management of MediaWiki extensions. It provides means for installing, upgrading or removing MediaWiki extensions via a configurable repository.

Features and benefits
It is beneficial for Wiki administrators since it can:
 * download and install MW extensions
 * apply required changes to configuration files (e.g. LocalSettings.php)
 * check version compatibility and resolve dependencies between MW extensions
 * update MW extensions
 * de-install MW extensions
 * roll back last wiki installation

MW extension developers can use the Deployment Framework to easily distribute their extensions. Furthermore Repository providers (e.g. an organization) can use it to provide its own repository of MW extensions.

It comes with a pre-configured repository (hosted by ontoprise) that contains Semantic MediaWiki, the Halo extensions and other useful extensions.
