Ideally yes but that's not implemented at the moment.
We're introducing the notion of extension manager to manager extensions and as part of
it there'll be a notion of an application (ie a set of pages) and when an app is
installed or upgraded it'll have the ability to run some script.

You could just delete the XWiki.Import page IMO.

XWiki.Import page is not part of the standard XAR. I don't have it on a
fresh XE 3.1. Moreover, the XARs I import are attached to
XWiki.XWikiPreferences page so for me the Import administration section
is synchronized with
http://host/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?viewer=attachments
XWiki.Import page is either from your previous XE 2.6 (which you said
you upgraded to 3.1) or was created by an application (extension) that
you have installed on top of 3.1.
Hope this helps,
Marius
I started with a blank web folder and extracted 3.1...
How can I find out where it came from? How can I find other pages are lingering?
You could compare the two XARs using either
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/XAR+Diff+Application or the Admin
Tools which reuse this XAR Diff app code
(http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/AdminTools).
Note that at some point we wanted to list this in the Release Notes but we've not been
doing it diligently. I'd like us to do that better in the future.
And, more importantly, next time I upgrade xwiki, what
is the correct
procedure to ensure that:
1) I do not have to reconfigure all my appearance configuration
You should not import XWikiPreferences, WebPreferences, etc. These are all indicated in
the upgrade instructions.
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HUpgrading…
2) I do not have to reconfigure my rights
Same
3) I do not leave crufty old pages around
See above. Note that pages that are left won't impact the execution of your wiki. If
they do they'd be mentioned in the release notes.
?
I do not understand how everyone else upgrades their xwiki... its
taken me 2 days and I'm still discovering things that shouldn't be
there (like this Import page)
Upgrading is still not an easy process. We're tacking this with the Extension Manager,
see
