I see there has been some discussion on the list, as far as I understand there
is no decision about it in general.
However I would like to drop support for pre-nested pages for the mocca
calendar on the master branch right now.
The pre-nested spaces structure is:
- Calendars are plain pages
- Events are pages that have their calendar as parent page, but are usually
placed as siblings in the same space
(necessarily w/o nested pages)
It is more natural to have calendars as nestable, non-terminal pages, and the
corresponding events nested inside these calendar pages.
Bugs that would be easy to solve after dropping support:
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/MOCCACAL-91 "Cannot create two events with the
same title in the same calendar "
This has been fixed in 2.5.1 for pre-nested pages, but that fix does not
work for nested pages.
Admittedly it could also be fixed with an if (nested space) do x else y
I have to admit that I am reluctant to implement the if-else fork and fully
test it (If I do not test both nested and pre-nested spaces it will be broken
with high probability)
In some places there are already horrible if-else clauses to support both
colibri and flamingo, which I put there and the experience makes me unwilling
to try this again with nested spaces.
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/MOCCACAL-93 "Preinstalled "Other Events"
Calendar should not be a terminal page"
This actually can not be fixed in a pre-nested spaces compatible way (I
think)
Proposal:
a) there is already a "stable-2.5" branch.
all fixes and improvements for pre-nested spaces will/should go on this
branch
b) master will switch its xwiki platform dependency from 5.4 to 7.4.2
(not 7.2 for me, because 7.4.2 is what I am willing to test against ... any
takers to test with 7.2 ?)
c) for now, the old "parent-child" relationship will still be used to
determine which events belong to which calendar
so no migration from pre-nested spaces is really necessary - at least I
think so. Of course this should be tested.
(It would be nice to have such migration, of course. I am not sure how to
write this, however.)
Any opinions? Should I send an official [vote] request?
