Actually I tough about that and IMO if an extension has AWM pages it should have a non optional dependency on AWM (i.e. it would be optional from flavor point of view but non optional from other extension point of view). > >> * xwiki-platform-linkchecker-ui >> * xwiki-platform-sandbox > >> * xwiki-platform-sharepage-ui >> * xwiki-platform-distribution-flavor-tour >> * application-templates-ui > >> >> I did not actually tried to uninstall those so it's possible it's not >> a good idea to uninstall some of them right now (hardcoded use >> somewhere maybe). >> >> WDYT ? > > The list sounds good to start with (we need to test remove them first ofc). > > Thanks > -Vincent > >> -- >> Thomas Mortagne > -- Thomas Mortagne
