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-24_sep_2007.jar
http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u3/promoted/b05/jdk-6u3-fcs-bin-b05-jrl-24_sep_2007.jar
http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u3/promoted/b05/jdk-6u3-fcs-mozilla_headers-b05-unix-24_sep_2007.jar
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.

http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/BSD_Migration
I would like these to go 'live' and be put onto the production site if
applicable!
Regards,
Kaya
