Is there a guide for how to upgrade a system from Pluto 1.0.x to 1.1?
Unfortunately no. 1.1 and 1.0 are so different in terms of
integration, I think it would be worth simply starting over. A
guide would be great, but would take quite a few cycles. If anyone
wants to take notes as they do it, I would commit the guide to
documentation.
You're best reference so far may be uPortal. I helped them get
through the upgrade and they hang around this list. I'll bet Eric
may pop in with a few notes.
And really... is there anyone on your team that might be
interested in helping Apache Geronimo upgrade to the latest Pluto
1.1 release for our console? The idea has been tossed around for
a while our dev lists, but so far no one has had time to look into
this more. Any one here have some free cycles to help us out?
There was talk a while back that you were going to use jetspeed
instead so that you had a portal provided out of the box. Have you
moved past this idea?
Ya, I remember some talk about that too... and I just rekindled that
topic on the G dev list... though it seems that folks still think
Jetspeed2 is a bit too heavy for what our console needs are and so
far most folks seem to want to upgrade to Pluto 1.1.
Also, how much customization is actually made in Geronimo? If I
remember correctly, don't you actually use the portal driver as a
whole?
Honestly... I have no idea ;-) What I do know is that right now we
have trouble getting applications and plugins to dynamically add/
remove portals to the console. Aaron had put in some hacks to get
something working for plugins, though I don't think those changes
ever made it into any server branch.
I'm tempted to look into this more... might learn a thing or two...
but right now I'm stuck in build-automation/TCK hell for Geronimo
2.0. But I'd still like to see this get fixed, so if I can help get
the right people poking at the code...
Though... something tells me that we probably need a fairly major
rewrite of our console app to make it more modular...
