Is there a direct dependency of Math upon php-curl, or is it an indirect dependency through MultiHttpClient? If the latter, perhaps T202352 could eliminate that dependency. Since I do not believe there is a way in the web installer to prevent enabling Math if php-curl is not present, this may be a blocker for bundling this extension at this point.

I'm bumping this to 1.35 for now until the php-curl dependency is clarified. If this can be resolved in time for the 1.34 release, we can bump it back.

It comes with MultiHttpClient.

https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Math/blob/54d1b77401a250d24a6923193c5c73459a10c2c2/src/MathRestbaseInterface.php#L170

Yes, one either needs the MultiHttpClient or to install nodejs, and mathoid and do configuration, which is some effort. See
https://github.com/physikerwelt/mediawiki-docker/commit/b2f700ecb2f6fb9753c50e21ca70981ff3eff457#diff-3254677a7917c6c01f55212f86c57fbfR94-R99

In the mathoid mode, we do support all the databases mentioned above. https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Math/tree/54d1b77401a250d24a6923193c5c73459a10c2c2/db

Extension's default configuration provides optimal experience

Not sure what this means, but there is nothing one can do to improve the default configuration unless one has special needs.

I guess the strict definition of optimal as the minimum of a well-defined loss function, is not meant here.

Hey there. This task is proposed as a blocker to MediaWiki 1.37, which will be cut in less than three weeks' time. Please consider whether this will make that deadline, and if not, move it to block the MediaWiki 1.38 release (MW-1.38-release) or remove as a blocker entirely.

As far as I can see this should be resolved. The issue was the Math uses MultiHttpClient.

Now that things work without cURL, including for the MultiHttpClient.

I could test without php-curl if that is uncertain.

I've made the config patches. I'll leave the final call on this to whomever is running the release process.
