Hello everybody,
I am proud to announce that after some very busy months, I have committed
the first version of the Vagrant maven module.
This module will allow us to create out of the box XWiki based virtual
machines (based on Virtual Box) on different environments. It is based on
Vagrant and uses Puppet for provisioning.
The current feature set is very limited, only creating a VM with a xwiki
user. In near future, I will work on making it truly useful. The most
common use cases are:
1) Testing on different environments (our automated tests suite also)
2) Testing the Debian packages Thomas created
2) An easy way to download XWiki (for end-users) without any configuration
effort.
Since this is a long time goal, I'd like to have your feedback about all
aspects in order to make it a truly useful module.
Link to the first jira of this project:
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCONTRIB-184
Code is publicly available at:
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-enterprise-vagrant
I encourage everybody to try it and provide feedback.
Regards,
Sorin B.
