kzantow Could you PTAL whether this can be handled towards 2.0 with reasonable effort? I suspect it might not.

I left this comment in the original PR but I don't think this is achievable.

What I think we should do instead is to rename the file that UpgradeWizard is using so that it is marked clearly as local to that one class, as opposed to try to be something more universally useful.

I think we should modify the InstallUtil version to be more of an update log. This could be in JSON format or something similar. We could use that to track all version upgrades, downgrades, and attach timestamps and metadata to each version, so things like this we could fairly easily track and display upgrade wizards at version 2.0, 2.1, etc.. Thoughts kohsuke tfennelly danielbeck?

kzantow Great idea, not towards 2.0 though. This issue is about investigating whether something can be done for that release to not introduce this redundant and possibly temporary system. If the answer is "no", that's a bit ugly but not the end of the world.

Maybe just rename the files used by wizard step 0 so it's clear where they are from?

Discussion:

• Keith recommends not fixing now and has a alternative suggestion.
• Daniel would like the file renamed

Decision: Keith will rename the file and open another ticket for the install log suggestion.
