Just some mentions about these removes/moves:
- We moved before things from XE to Platform. It's a pain if you want to
'blame' the source and in the JIRA issue we don't have a link from where
the page was moved from. Tracking the history for a moved page is difficult
and a comment stating where the location was is useful.
- What will happen with the history if we remove the XE repository?
Although the history + the blame use case might not be interesting for
everyone, myself I'm using it often to understand the initial purpose of
the feature, to determine if it's a regression, to know which person to
contact, etc.
Do we have a strategy for keeping the history somehow?
Thanks,
Caty

The minimal flavor is theoretically supposed to be an empty flavor, it
contains the bare minimum for XWiki to start. Right now this means a lot of
modules (those that are defined in the Packager plugin). In the future, as
we divide modules into smaller feature set, we should be able to reduce the
size of the minimal flavor. Just to give one example, the WYSIWYG editor
shouldn’t be something that you have in the minimal flavor; it shouldn’t be
required to start XWiki and it should be possible to install the WYSIWYG
editor if you want.
The test flavor shouldn’t exist: the functional tests for each module
should have a dep on the minimal flavor + all the deps for what they are
testing. In the past, I added the export dep in the Packager plugin because
the way I work when I develop a module is like this:
* Code the API up to a point
* Create the functional test infrastructure and create a basic functional
test
* Run it to generate a runtime XWiki instance (in target/xwiki)
* Create the UI in that XWiki instance and export the pages to
src/main/resources
* Iterate: Add more test lines at the same time as I add the wiki pages
So for this way of working, I needed to be able to export wiki page easily
and I was fed up to have to import the export feature all the time so I put
it in the Packager plugin.
So we can decide if we want to continue this or if there’s a better flow.
When I defined the test flavor above, I was thinking about minimal + export
module.
Hope it’s more clear :)
Thanks

Wouldn't basic import/export be part of the "minimal" flavor? Not sure I
understand the difference between minimal and test. * test: minimal + the export feature (since when
writing functional
tests there's is often the need to export pages as XAR)

Sounds good on my end.
