I checked those diff tools... one of them says "only for developers!!
you must modify your webhome page" so I avoided that one.
I tried the AdminTools one, but both the Diff tools don't work. The
velocity-based one fails with a StringIndex = -1 and the groovy one
just shows the code, it doesn't actually run.
I tried to put the code into a page to make it go, but that didn't
seem to work either.

urgh
What I did was Imported and opened the latest 3.1.xar to see the contents.
What I found interesting is that there are a lot of pages (eg
Blog.BlogParameters) that are not listed in the Blog-Space-Index
Are these pages? How does one see the hidden pages?
thanks

I am struggling with a similar design issue in one of my projects. I
am currently thinking along the lines that:
* If there are a set of pages, keep them bundled together - don't
unwrap them. The moment you unwrap them, and someone modifies a page,
then you can't upgrade the package without stomping on the changes.
* Allow pages to be extracted if the user really wants to hack.
* Don't store configuration within pages that are part of an upgrade.
Instead, separate structure and data, and put the data in a
configuration file (or a configuration page that is NOT EVER
overwritten during an upgrade). Then, if there is an upgrade, add a
mechanism to upgrade the configuration file IF REQUIRED.

Shouldn't this have been handled by the Migration thing?
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.
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).
