Free Tier vs Enterprise Tier - Liferay Sources

Community Liferay DXP Free Tier
1

Hi everyone,

Previously we had DXP and CE as separate products in separate repos (GitHub - liferay/liferay-portal · GitHub and https://github.com/liferay/liferay-dxp).

Now, as there is only DXP (with a Free Tier acting as CE) - sources should be the same in both repos, right?

A couple of clarifications considering this:

  1. Code for the same tag should be the same in /liferay-portal and /liferay-dxp ?
    e.g. Release 2026.q1.0 · liferay/liferay-portal · GitHub and https://github.com/liferay/liferay-dxp/releases/tag/2026.q1.0
  2. /liferay-dxp contains additional versions/hotfixes (e.g. https://github.com/liferay/liferay-dxp/releases/tag/2026.q1.0-hotfix-56), while /liferay-portal contains only initial quarter releases?
  3. Both /liferay-portal and /liferay-dxp repositories will be maintained in future? Or will be merged to a single one (with different tags/branches) ?
  4. When we ‘re on Free Tier - we should use /liferay-portal sources, and on Enterprise Tier - /liferay-dxp sources, right?

Thanks,

Vitaliy

I’ve similar concerns too and I don’t think GitHub - liferay/liferay-portal · GitHub and https://github.com/liferay/liferay-dxp has same code as the dxp repo has packages that is missing from liferay/liferay-portal

Also, this Release 2026.q1.0 · liferay/liferay-portal · GitHub is tagged as dxp, but some one from the community already tried to built and it returned “Liferay Community Edition Portal 7.4.3.148 CE GA148“

And there was another DXP release, 2026.Q1.1 which unfortunately doesn’t work with free tier. I’m not sure how we will be able to create a patch for the free tier, if no source is provided.
