Hi All,
I am new to XWiki and I was wondering if some users use XWiki as a
documentation engine for software projects in general. The case I have
in mind is that we want to provide our software documentation to our
customers as XWiki pages. I'm quite fond of Sphinx
(
http://sphinx-doc.org/) and I very much like the idea of being able to
set up a bunch of files (in the case os Sphinx reStructuredText text
files) and have them versioned in the revision control system we use for
our code. I thought I could set up a similar file structure with XWiki
2.1 text files and have them versioned as a function of language and
(our) software version.
So the question : does anyone know of a Git plugin akin to the existing
SVN Application
(
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/SVN+Application)
? I tried setting up the SVN plugin yesterday by testing on a local SVN
and I didn't succeed. I figured the reason is that we have Enterprise
XWiki 5.2 and the plugin mentions it's been tested with version 6.0.1
but before I try harder I'd prefer if there would be a Git plugin since
we're transitioning over to Git.
Also, I know the idea of keeping versions separate from XWiki's own
versioning story seems odd, but I still find a justification for a
revision control system level versioning. The rationale behind the
development of the SVN Application rings a bell to me : "Allows
concurrent development on multiple servers and simplifies publishing
XWiki applications".
TIA,
Yves Moisan
P.S. I scanned the mailing list archives up to Dec 2012 and din't find
anything.
