[Pkg-mediawiki-devel] Bug#772764: breaks API

[Джонатан Вашингтон]

This patch also appears to break the API.

The following lines

        if ( preg_match( '/\<\s*cross-domain-policy\s*\>/i',
$json ) ) {
            $json = preg_replace(
                '/\<(\s*cross-domain-policy\s*)\>/i',
'\\u003C$1\\u003E', $json
            );
        }

should be

        if ( preg_match( '/\<\s*cross-domain-policy\s*\>/i', $json ) ) {
            $json = preg_replace(
                '/\<(\s*cross-domain-policy\s*)\>/i', '\\u003C$1\\u003E', $json
            );
        }

Otherwise the API returns 500 errors and the following appears in the error log:
[error] PHP Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed
in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/api/ApiFormatJson.php on line 77

Fix was identified by the friendly folks in freenode#mediawiki :)
