Upgrading from the Debian package

Version 2.1 by Vincent Massol on 2024/04/02

Update packages index:
sudo apt-get update
Package upgrade:
sudo apt-get upgrade
This will upgrade all packages, not just XWiki. If you want to avoid all the other packages and only update XWiki, you can use sudo apt-get install xwiki-tomcat8-mysql (change xwiki-tomcat8-mysql for the top level package you installed if you installed something else).
Warning
When upgrading from pre 9.5 version apt-get upgrade won't find anything because the package name changed (XWiki Enterprise does not exist anymore).
All you have to do in this case is install the xwiki-tomcat* package corresponding to the top level xwiki-enterprise-tomcat* one you installed previously. For example if you had xwiki-enterprise-tomcat8-mysql 9.4 you should do sudo apt-get install xwiki-tomcat8-mysql.
Pages upgrade:
However after upgrading you still need to install the new UI; see next step Upgrading the flavor below.
