   9 == Development Information ==
  10
  11 If you are a developer, you might want to fetch the extension tree in another
  12 directory and make a symbolic link:
  13
  14  mediawiki/extensions$ ln -s ../../extensions-trunk/FooBar
  15
  16 Most extensions are available through Git:
  17     https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MEXT/

  19
  20 Please note that under POSIX systems (Linux...), parent of a symbolic path
  21 refers to the link source, NOT to the target! You should check the env
  22 variable MW_INSTALL_PATH in case the extension is not in the default location.
  23
  24 The following code snippet lets you override the default path:
  25
  26  $IP = getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' );
  27  if( $IP === false ) {
  28         $IP = __DIR__ . '/../..';
  29  }
  30  require_once "$IP/maintenance/Maintenance.php"; // a MediaWiki core file
