First, we're supposed to be moving documents out of xwiki-enterprise and into application modules inside the platform, so there shouldn't be any XE XAR at all, just a list of default dependencies to include in the standalone database. Second, if we do push forward the extension manager as the preferred way of installing XARs, then such a bundle XAR shouldn't be needed at all. For the standalone distribution the packager plugin could just install the XE shallow XAR + its dependencies, while for WAR installs users could just pull it using the extension manager. So, the big fat XAR shouldn't have any use either. > WDYT ? > > Here is my +1 > -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
