I would be interested in some pointers here, too. Currently for every upgrade most of the time I am busy with comparing the exported and unpacked *.xar of my wiki with the differences between the xwiki-enterprise-*.war from the corresponding releases, and update the *.xml files manually. When I reimport the changes files again in the running xwiki I always have the fear of overwriting some important local modifications, or forgot to add important updates from the release. I guess there must be better ways to do it, and maybe someone already knows one ;) > > I personally don't need any pretty xwiki app to do this, if I can > accomplish it in my shell, it'd be fine.

I just wondered if one day I get to the point where I could at least write an importer plugin, which accepts the pristine *.xar from the current and new release, and then updates all pages, which still have the content from the old release with the content of the corresponding page in the new release. (Well, just updating the content would not help for the Panels, which are actually the most heavily customized things in the wiki here). Though I am not there yet, partially because still have to learn the XWiki API, partially because the updates somehow went through without it.
