+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
I do not fully agree. My work dir has always been been stored in a place
like /var/cache, where the data is not backup and has not real importance
(I was not using filesystem attachement obviously). This was the default 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.
xwiki.work.dir was already supposed to be used for persisted datas and
there was xwiki.temp.dir for temporary stuff.
And, AFAIK, apart from the attachment storage, what
was stored there where
mainly data that could be freely deleted.
No, xwiki.work.dir always been used for datas you wanted to keep after
a restard, the fact that it was not too critical to loose Lucene index
does not make it ok to rebuild the whole index all the time especially
for a big farm.
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.
Sure.
anyway and if the permanent dir is not set then
admin just need to set
it and it OK.
