Note that except for 1/ you get pretty much all that on Debian/Ubuntu
with the combination of Debian packages for the war and configuration
files and the Distribution Wyzard for the wiki pages.
See
Situation: We are currently at XWiki X.Y and we want
to upgrade to the latest
XWiki version.
Problem: Upgrading is complex :-(
Wish: I wish that XWiki has an "Check for update" button. If a new version
of XWiki is released, this button will report the newest XWiki version. A
new button "Upgrade Wiki" will become available. If the admin presses that
button...
1) A backup of the current Wiki(s) will be made
2) XWiki will compare the current Wiki X.Y with the version X.Y stored at
www.xwiki.org to detect any modifications (like XWiki.XWikiPreferences,
XWiki.WebPreferences, XWiki.XWikiAllGroup, XWiki.Admin, *.*Config,
XWiki.XWikiServerXwiki, or any other page that has been modified, such as
Main.WebHome, a modified Panel, etc.
3) Perform the upgrade of all the XWiki components
4) Merge any configuration files
All automaticly, just like updating an iPhone or Android App. I just click
on "Install" and the new version of my App will be downloaded/installed.
Wishful thinking?
