This one is not needed.

Again not needed. You just need to not import XWikiPreferences. Or are you talking about another page? > 7. adjust some skins modifications, script modifications.

What you could do is a diff between your version and the new version. In general whatever new config param we add has a default value that is similar to the old behavior so it shouldn't change anything. Personally I'd like to move all config files in a .xwiki directory in your user directory so that upgrades don't require you to remember to save your config and put it back. > Points 4 to 7 consume time. > I understand that the automatic process is complex (for example to > change the script...) I will have a look on the ExtensionManager. IMO the only real hard part is the upgrade of the XAR (ie the wiki pages). To reduce this burden you should try to not change pages packaged in the default XAR and instead create new pages. This will prevent you from overwriting changes. There's also a list of page you should not upgrade, listed in the Installation guide. It's for the XAR upgrade that we'd like to have the Extension Manager in the future.
