Hi,
I got a personal request from Vincent Massol wanting me to update
everyone on the status of my documentation project for installing
Xwiki on non-mainstream systems - by that I mean Linux.
In writing the documents I had 3, for installing on FreeBSD w/Tomcat,
Solaris w/Gassfish, and a migration guide.
These are now complete!
There are some notes at the bottom of the Migration Guide; don't pay
any attention to these as they are obsolete with Nexenta merging with
OpenIndiana.....

I refactored this one a bit to be more compliant with the style of the other
documents on
xwiki.org.
One thing I noticed is that the steps are very detailed and go through all
the errors encountered on the way, which I think is a bit too verbose. Do
you think that you could list all the prerequisite steps in order to avoid
errors and frustration from other users?
What I mean by that is, for example, to list all the downloads needed to
successfully build the JDK, like:
tzupdater-1_3_31-2010i.zip
diablo-jdk-freebsd7.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz
diablo-caffe-freebsd7-amd64-1.6.0_07-b02.tar.bz2
http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u3/promoted/b05/jdk-6u3-fcs-src-b05-jrl-…
http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u3/promoted/b05/jdk-6u3-fcs-bin-b05-jrl-…
http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u3/promoted/b05/jdk-6u3-fcs-mozilla_head…
Also, don't start with building Tomcat to get an error, start with building
the JDK, then go to building Tomcat without getting any errors.

Sure thing!
Sorry I am a bit unresonsive at present, things are quite manic at
work right now. I will make every effort to sort this out soon - at
the latest over the weekend but hopefully there will be a few evenings
where I can play around and re-jig in accordance with what is wanted
:-)
P.s. on a side note - thanks for all the support I really appreciate that! :-)
Regards,
Kaya
