[Krydos] GNU diff3 text comparison utility for MediaWiki

[space2018]

Hi,

 

Is it possible for the GNU diff3 text comparison utility to be installed on the Ricky server for PHP 7.2? MediaWiki uses it to optimize concurrent article editing on its platform.

 

Thanks

Diff3 is already installed on Ricky.

# which diff3
/usr/bin/diff3

You probably just need to edit LocalSettings.php and set

$wgDiff3 = "/usr/bin/diff3";
