Isn't the default xwiki-entreprise still the most common one?
How would you take in account the other flavours then? By listing them?
Yes, an xproperty in the Repository app would allow defining the flavors in which an
extension is bundled in (i.e. generalize what we already have for XE). BTW right now I
think this is just an extension on e.x.o and not part of the Repository app. We’ll need to
decide what we want to do in the future.

WDYM by “see through”? If you go to the admin you see installed extensions already.

I don’t understand your point with the “default” flavor. Showing bundled extensions
surely becomes even more important as the number of flavors increase. Re
“visibility", I’ve already suggested an idea in my reply.
Yes, indeed, listing
the flavours.
I've opend this one:
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13430 not all extensions should
be perceived as installable
But I feel that something more could be done. Maybe a way to check if an
extension is installed in one's wiki (input your wiki name there and
keep it in a cookie, click a link or even produce an iframe)
What do others feel? Also, the fact that it's called
"extensions.xwiki.org" remains a hint
towards a wiki to be extended.
Not much we can do here IMO. Everything is an extension. The end goal/game is to mandate a
single extension (and its deps): the extension manager. All the rest can then be installed
from it. The near future will offer flavors and they can be anything.

Have you tried xwiki’s admin UI? :) I’m asking because if you do you’ll find a nice
“Installed Extensions” menu entry there. And if you try to add the HTML Macro using the
‘Add Extension” it should also tell it’s already installed so I don’t really see the
problem you’re having…
Why do you care to see whether the extension is installed or not in your wiki in the end?
If you think it’s not, then you’ll obviously try to install it and EM will show it’s
already installed… No problem...
Thanks

And if you try to search for it using
Administration > Add Extensions
you'll see that it's already installed.
Does this not sound like...
I'll add an extension???? I would like to
manage extensions. Paul
