Hi, XWiki team,
It seems to me that upgrading the XWiki version on XWiki farm is
very hard to do since it is not done for quite some time. Is this
an indicator that maintaining an XWiki server with live sites is
not easy?
No, it's an indicator that:
1) we are working on a new farm (Raffaello should tell you more about
this - Raff can you post a status here please?)
2) Raff is very busy on other things and haven't had time to upgrade
the "old" farm yet but this is planned.
Now, upgrading a farm is always more complex than upgrading a single
wiki instance as if you introduce an error you introduce it to 10K
wikis... so you need to be more carful... :)
Is there a path for site managers to move up to the
next version
XWiki? Or, is there a way for users to get to the new version or
get around the problems of the old version? Not everyday everyone
is starting from a clean new version, everyone has to face the
upgrading time. If XWiki farm sites have to stay in old, old
version, I guess moving up is really difficult. It does not look
good to potential new users.
I'm not sure I understand your question or maybe you're not read the
releases notes? We do have instructions there on how to upgrade. If
these are not enough, I'd really like to know what's missing so that
I can improve them.
Thanks
