Yes it should say "XWiki Enterprise". It's not packaging anything, it has a dependency on it. And anyway at this level it's only about XWiki Enterprise as debian package, there is potentially not only Tomcat and there is not only MySQL (there is already a PotgreSQL package as I said already). > >> With my latest commit I think it's now clean enough to be moved on >> https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform. > > I don't understand why you're proposing to move it to the platform.

Of course. Also note that Debian package is not just one package among others in this case since we always use Debian internally ourself. It would be harder to maintain any other package I guess. > > WDYT? > > Thanks > -Vincent > >> >> WDYT ? >> >> Here is my +1 >> >> -- >> Thomas Mortagne > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs > -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
