[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Rename downloadable packages while releasing them
Hi xwikiers, Eduard hard the idea of dynamically rename the files names of the packages we publish on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Download/ page and use the refactoring to move XE features to a new platform flavor as a good opportunity for this change. In more details the proposal is the following: * name "xwiki-demo-9.5.zip" or "xwiki-9.5.zip" the standard jetty/hsqldb package (the one which let you choose the flavor you want to install) * name "xwiki-9.5.war" the standard war package * name "xwiki-classic-9.5.xip" the offline package containing XWiki Classic flavor WDYT ? Other ideas ? +1 with a preference for "xwiki-demo-9.5.zip" over "xwiki-9.5.zip" to make it more clear it's not a production oriented package. -- Thomas Mortagne

+1 with a preference for "xwiki-demo-9.5.zip" over "xwiki-9.5.zip" to make it more clear it's not a production oriented package.
Sounds good to me. I prefer the format: xwiki-<flavor name>-<version>.<extension> Thanks -Vincent

much simpler +1, so I prefer "xwiki-9.5.zip" Thanks, Caty On Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 1:38 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

The idea boils down to removing technical details ("platform-distribution-war", "platform-distribution-flavor-xip", "platform-distribution-jetty-hsqldb") from the published artifact and simplifying it to: "xwiki-<optional classifier>-<version>.<extension>" Here's my +1.

+1. I'm not a big fan of "demo", though, people will get confused. On 06/09/2017 06:42 AM, Eduard Moraru wrote:

WDYM Sergiu? Confusing about what? Demo is what we use on the download page already, see for example http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Download/DownloadVersion/?projectVersion... We used to call it “standalone” in the past. We could revert to that instead of demo if we think that demo is not good. xwiki-standalone-9.5.zip Thanks -Vincent

My only fear is that naming it "xwiki-9.5.zip" might make it look like the recommended package while it's quite the opposite in practice. On Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 3:50 PM, Marius Dumitru Florea <[email protected]> wrote:

Just putting it out there: * "xwiki-local-9.5.zip" * "xwiki-server-9.5.war" / "xwiki-hosted-9.5.war" Though I`m not sure we really need to go into these details, since the file extension says enough IMO and the download page will clarify this as well. Not to mention that an admin should know already the difference and that we`re not really addressing end-users nor even XWiki admin users here, but more sysadmins. Desktop users will surely go for the zip, and that`s our goal anyway. I`d keep it simple (i.e. "xwiki-9.5.zip"). Thanks, Eduard
