Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Change the default to non-backup instead of backup import when creating a new wiki template from xar in the wiki-manager module

Hi devs, Right now, when you create a wiki template from a xar, the import that is done in the background is a backup import, meaning that the last author of the pages that get imported in the new wiki keep the author specified by the xar. This often creates problems like: - Missing Programming Rights - Unregistered macros - Malfunctioning scripts These problems can appear because the user specified in the xar (even if it is XWiki.Admin) is almost always a local user and subwiki local users do not have PR. If it's not a PR issue, then the user specified in the xar can be non-existent and this makes admin checks fail, thus failing wiki macro registration for the entire subwiki. We are currently experiencing this problem in Workspaces, since, at the install step, we create a workspace template by using a workspace-template.xar (default XE but can also be user provided). Since we make sure to delete any local users (including XWiki.Admin), the Wiki macros will not be registered in the template and, obviously, neither in any created workspace. I`m hoping to include this in 3.3 final so that Workspaces can avoid the macro registration problems (and possibly others). So I`m asking for your vote to change the current default to non-backup. This means that all the pages in the new subwiki template will have the current admin user that created the template as last author. Here's my +1.
