What does the Distribution Wizard do? It seems that it's mostly used for
migrating extensions, but I'm not sure what else it does.
Right now it install/upgrades all wiki pages (what you import as a XAR when
you don't use it). In XWiki world everything is extensions working with
each other.
Thank you.

It depends what you need. If you don't plan to use the distribution
wizard (you will need to cancel it the first time) or extension
manager then you can ignore it or even better make sure XWiki does not
try to access those repositories by setting extension.repositories= in
WEB-INF/xwiki.properties. This will tell XWiki there is no
repositories, not even the default ones.
XWiki can also support a repository you would have on your side but
the hard part would be to get the "required" files, we are not really
talking about a few files to put in some folder.
The "simplest" would be to mirror http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/ and
that's only if you plan to install nothing else than XAR extensions
release by the XWiki team or by official contrib on Maven (it's enough
for Distribution Wyzard for example). The next level would be to
mirror the Nexus[1] repository on
http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/content/groups/public/ (best probably
being to use Nexus itself for that).
Mirroring http://extension.xwiki.org would be quite complex, XWiki
access it using REST, it require a running instance of XWiki
Repository[2] and most of all there is no tool right now do the
synchronization (even if that should not be too hard with a script).
And I wouldn't really recommend mirroring any of the xwiki servers since
that's going going to be expensive for us and if we find people doing this
we will need to take some measures to forbid it (as they did on maven
central).
Thanks

probably
means that the Distribution Wizard couldn't connect to the default
configured extension repositories (extensions.xwiki.org and
maven.xwiki.org). Above this message you should have a warning message
that tells you the installation process requires internet access. Make sure
the default extension repositories are accessible.

How
can I prevent the above message from appearing in the Distributon
Wizard? Am I missing something?
