Hi all,
as anyone can see there's a first attempt to upgrade from v0.9 in
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/
Installation#HUpgradinganXWikiv09Installation
The problem with this approach is that it just migrates the Java code,
but not the one inside the xwiki pages stored in the database.
In order to construct a strong and complete migration process I need
some help (as usual :-D), mainly :
* what pages/spaces contain code that is considered part of XWiki
distribution ??
If you're talking about XE (XWiki Enterprise). The list of pages is
available there:
http://fisheye2.cenqua.com/browse/xwiki/xwiki-products/xwiki-
enterprise/trunk/wiki/src/main/resources
* does anyone has success in making the code at
http://old.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Test/ImportExport work on 0.9 ??
* any other places to look at for other pieces of XWiki core that
should
be added to the upgrade guide ??
I think we need more detailed instructions for moving data from an
existing DB to a new DB. The exporter would be the best way to do
that but importing a large XAR doesn't work either when the memory is
not large enough so import at the DB level is required anyway for
some large XWiki installs.
I haven't tried doing this myself (I don't have a 0.9 wiki to
migrate) so I'm not the best placed to help here but I'm pretty sure
some 0.9 users are having a hard time so they should speak up!
Have you checked the list archives to check messages about migrating
to 1.1.1 from a 0.9 install?
Thanks for doing this and helping out!
