This seems to crop up a lot i.e. overwriting existing admin pages, etc.
Couldn't there be a flag associated with admin type pages to prevent them
getting wrongly overwritten when copying content from an older version of
xwiki to a newer version of xwiki, but enabling existing user acounts and
page content to be copied over?

Richard

Subject: [xwiki-users] Importing the default xar
Greetings,
I have an installation of xwiki enterprise which was on 1.2 and I have just
completed the upgrade to 1.7.
The steps I performed for the upgrade are as follows (I'm going to leave out
steps which I feel are not pertinent to my question):
1 created MySQL schema and applied user rights
2 stood up the new wiki and pointed it to the MySQL DB
3 imported xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.7.xar in the new wiki
4 exported all content from the old wiki (1.2) to a xar
5 I had to break up the xar into a few chucks so the import would work
6 imported _all_ content along with history into the new wiki
I was then able to log in and everything seemed fine.
My question is did I overwrite anything the xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.7.xar
provides? I am wondering if by doing step 6 that I overrode things that I
should not have, I imported everything even the Xwiki items.
If I did overwrite some items, would it be best to re-import
xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.7.xar and be more selective on what to import?
Regards,
Chad
