Ok thanks.
I have a last question regarding XWiki update process.
Does the XAR I have installed thru the EM / Advanced Search
"org.xwiki.enterprise:xwiki-enterprise-ui-all" contains absolutely all XWiki
pages? Which means I can "skip" updates for some versions because next XAR
update will be a "full" update. But it also means, when I perform an update
that I'm prompted to solve conflicts for pages which are in the XAR but
which, in fact, didn't changed from an XWiki official distribution point of
view (the only changes in these pages are the changes I've performed).
Or does the upgrade process is more clever: each page has its own version
and the update process does a comparison between the current page version in
my Wiki and the one coming from the XAR before prompting to solve a confict?
To put it in a nutshell: does the updated XAR / or the update process
performs an incremental update or does it, potentialy depending on the admin
answers on conflicts, updates all Wiki pages?
Neither :)
The upgrade does a 3 ways merge for each page between page in the
previous version, page in the database and page in the new version so
among other things if the page did not change in the official version
it will not do anything for this page. Conflict asking is pretty rare
because even if the document changed in official version and you
modified some stuff most of the time it's able to merge it properly as
long as you did not touch the exact same thing that changed between
previous and new version.
Thanks for your (I hope) last explainations,
