Several things use the /usr/local/apache/common/php path to get to a MediaWiki release branch:
- php.ini and php.ini.cli from operations/puppet.git/modules/applicationserver/files/php
- The update_flaggedrev_stats cron job declared in operations/puppet.git/manifests/misc/maintenance.pp
- The sync-conf-from-common cron job declared in operations/puppet.git/manifests/search.pp
This path is a symlink in the operations/mediawiki-config.git repository. Currently the symlink is manually pointed at some deployed mediawiki branch and updated when Sam or another branch deployer thinks about it.
The multiversion/updateWikiversions script should ensure that this symlink is pointed to a reasonably current and stable branch. I would suggest that it should point to which ever branch is in use by enwiki.
