The prefered solution seems to be installing a minimal system and provide basic explanation on how to change the configuration according to the needs. And also give a link to a more complete solution. I plan also to move the packaging to datasources instead of direct connections. I need a rampup on rpm packaging. As an exercise, I'll try to provide rpm packages for xwiki and, in such systems (centos/redhat/ ...), ask for what and how to configure. I think it's a more common practice on such systems > 2.

I'll upgrade the packages according to changes in XWiki, and if at the end enterprise and manager merge, it will be one package less to maintain ;) Concerning the datasource, I know it's possible to define one DS for multiple schema, but for a database as mysql where one DB can have only one schema, I'm not sure it's possible to point multiple databases using one datasource... In short, I'll have to investigate the subject ;) Thanks again for your feedback -- Frédéric Bouquet Twitter/Github : bouquetf http://www.espacedefouille.org/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
