Hi XWiki devs
I'd like to propose the following enhancement for the XWiki Migration
Manager. This is the follow up proposal to this discussion
<http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2015-February/058396.html>.
The current idea is to merge the concepts of the Extension Manager and
Migration Manager. Extensions should be able to provide individual data
migrations to add the possibility of altering data relevant to this
extension. These should be executed after installation or upgrade of an
extension.
Currently, the Migration Manager (still residing in the oldcore) does
not support external migrations and only a version number for XWiki
migrations is stored in the database. It has to be refactored (to it's
own module?) and requires the functionality to store multiple version
numbers with specific identifiers in the database for versioning
migrations for individual extensions.
We at the celements team <http://www.celements.ch/Home?language=en> have
an interest in this functionality and are willing to carry and implement it.
If you agree with the basic idea, I will start a design proposal
document with more detailed information and possible challenges on
http://design.xwiki.org
WDYT?
