What's in xwiki.properties is just a new component oriented access to
the same thing and nothing new.
Anyway you would have use it properly if you were using filesystem
attachment so it does not really change the need for a migration.

I do not fully agree. My work dir has always been been stored in a place

(I was not using filesystem attachement obviously). This was the default on
a debian install. On the other hand, permanentDirectory should be in
/var/lib, and be backed up. This is my setup right now with the patch of
Caleb. Hi,
I'd like to switch filesystem attachments to begin using the persistent
storage directory now instead of the work directory.
This means there's a new way of calculating
where the attachments will
be stored so it might fail on upgrade.
I would like to not do any migration and just add
to the release notes
because:
#1, it doesn't cause any permanent harm so
long as nobody adds
attachments while it's in what is an obviously broken
state.
#2 administrators who have FS attachments enabled
are probably going to
know what's going on.
#3 migration code is scary, it requires lots of
work and lots of review
and even if it works,
people might feel violated having files shuffled
around on their system
without their permission.
WDYT?
+1 and +1 for no migration by default too. If admin did his job
properly, work dir and permanent dir are supposed to be the same
anyway and if the permanent dir is not set then
admin just need to set
it and it OK.
