[xwiki-devs] [Idea] Externalize backward compat checks in a wik page?

Hi devs, I’ve been thinking about how to improve our release process regarding the backward compat checks (we were using clirr for this and now revapi). In short the idea is: * Store the revapi config (containing the list of breakages to ignore) in a wiki page on xwiki.org, associated with a given release note. For example in ReleaseNotes.BackwardCompatibilityForXWiki${xwiki.version.major}${xwiki.version.minor} (using http://www.mojohaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/parse-version-mojo.html) * Configure our build to download that json file and store it in target/ for revapi, see https://github.com/revapi/revapi/issues/31#issuecomment-200286810 * Work on making it not fail the build when offline (see https://github.com/revapi/revapi/issues/31#issuecomment-200286810) * Write some groovy script in the release notes template page to automatically generate the “API Breakage” section from the parsed json from ReleaseNotes.BackwardCompatibilityForXWiki${xwiki.version.major}${xwiki.version.minor} WDYT?
