Hello,

Anyone considered adding monotone support to ikiwiki?

http://ikiwiki.kitenet.net/

I have done the easy bits of such a plugin (see attachment, not
tested), but there are some difficult parts which are pushing my
(limited) knowledge of monotone to its limits. e.g.:

* How do you determine the creation date/time of a file? Or the
data/time of the first revision would probably be sufficient too.

sub rcs_getctime ($) {
        # Optional, used to get the page creation time from the RCS.
        error "getctime not implemented";
}

I believe this is a Unix format integer time (based on svn example).


* Recent changes:

sub rcs_recentchanges ($) {
        # Examine the RCS history and generate a list of recent changes.
        # The data structure returned for each change is:
        # {
        #       user => # name of user who made the change,
        #       committype => # either "web" or the name of the rcs,
        #       when => # time when the change was made,
        #       message => [
        #               { line => "commit message line" },
        #               { line => "commit message line" },
        #               # etc,
        #       ],
        #       pages => [
        #               {
        #                       page => # name of page changed,
        #                       diffurl => # optional url to a diff showing 
        #                                  # the changes,
        #               },
        #               # repeat for each page changed in this commit,
        #       ],
        # }
        my $num=shift;
        my @ret;
}

My initial thought is to parse the output of "mtn log", but that seems
yucky, and prone to fail if the output format ever changes.


* I don't particular care about this one, but all the same, it is there:

sub rcs_notify () {
        # This function is called when a change is committed to the wiki,
        # and ikiwiki is running as a post-commit hook from the RCS.
        # It should examine the repository to somehow determine what pages
        # changed, and then send emails to users subscribed to those pages.
}

* conflicts and multi-heads: My current plan is to deal with this
manually at the command line. Perhaps not a good long time strategy,
but will keep me happy for now ;-).


I also filed a wishlist bug report at:
