Currently this is my process:
1. download the XEM war
2. unzip the file into my jetyt/webapps folder
3. configure hibernate.cfg.xml
4. in the xwiki.cfg set the ldap part(server, user, group), the stat part, virtual part,
lucene part
5. in the xwiki.properties set OpenOffice part
6. in the xwiki itself , set the Alias for default name, the smtp server.
7. adjust some skins modifications, script modifications.
Several times I tryed to copy directly the file but I got a crash (some properties in
hybernate file change, new properties definition in the xwiki.cfg...).
Points 4 to 7 consume time.
I understand that the automatic process is complex (for example to change the script...) I
will have a look on the ExtensionManager.
Thx for your answer !

Hi all,

I have installed XEM on Windows using Oracle, ActiveDirectory,
Exchange, Openoffice... To configure all, it takes time and it is not
an obvious task.
Could you list the tasks that take time? (I have some idea but would be interested to know
what you think is painful in the upgrade process).
Note: In the future we've planned to implement an extension manager, see
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManager
Thanks

That's why i am wondering if there is a way to
automatically update
XEM without change the conf.

This one is not needed. You can simply reuse your existing config file.
4. in the xwiki.cfg set the ldap part(server, user,
group), the stat
part, virtual part, lucene part
Again this one is not needed you can reuse your existing file.
5. in the xwiki.properties set OpenOffice part
Same as above.
6. in the xwiki itself , set the Alias for default
name, the smtp
server.
Again not needed. You just need to not import XWikiPreferences. Or are
you talking about another page?
7. adjust some skins modifications, script
modifications.
Any details on these?
Several times I tryed to copy directly the file but I
got a crash
(some properties in hybernate file change, new properties definition
in the xwiki.cfg...).
hmm... What you could do is a diff between your version and the new
version. In general whatever new config param we add has a default
value that is similar to the old behavior so it shouldn't change
anything.
Personally I'd like to move all config files in a .xwiki directory in
your user directory so that upgrades don't require you to remember to
save your config and put it back.
Points 4 to 7 consume time.
I understand that the automatic process is complex (for example to
change the script...) I will have a look on the ExtensionManager.
IMO the only real hard part is the upgrade of the XAR (ie the wiki
pages). To reduce this burden you should try to not change pages
packaged in the default XAR and instead create new pages. This will
prevent you from overwriting changes. There's also a list of page you
should not upgrade, listed in the Installation guide.
It's for the XAR upgrade that we'd like to have the Extension Manager
in the future.
