Migrate from a qooxdoo v5 "contrib" to v6 "package" #1

Closed cboulanger closed 3 years ago

cboulanger commented 5 years ago

The qooxdoo dev team invites you to upgrade your contrib project to qooxdoo v6 (very soon to be release in beta). Please have a look at the documentation at

https://www.qooxdoo.org/docs/#/cli/packages

The previous "contrib" architecture has been deprecated; qooxdoo v6 will be using "packages" with different Manifest.json entries compared to the old system (see here). The packages are managed using CLI commands that support the use, creation and mainenance of packages.

Upgrading your project to version 6 should pose no major problems. Version 6 adds a whole slew of new and exciting features, but stays almost 100% backwards compatible with version 5. The major difference is the new tool chain and compiler based on NodeJS. See here on how to get started. If you run into problems, feel free to ask questions on Gitter or StackOverflow.

Once you have re-published your project as a package, it will (with a delay of a day or so) show up in the Qooxdoo Package Browser. If you add a standalone demo application by providing the necessary instructions in the compile.json configuration file, a live version will be showcased there.

We'd be thrilled to see your new qooxdoo package in the package browser soon, and please use the Gitter chat to announce it!
