It'd be nice if the mtime of the files ikiwiki renders matched the mtime of
|
||
|
|
the source files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, this turns out to be more complex than just calling utime() a few
|
||
|
|
times. If a page inlines other, younger pages, then having an older mtime
|
||
|
|
means that an old version of it will be kept in web caches, forcing
|
||
|
|
annoying shift-reloads to see the changed content (for example).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And it's not just inline. The template plugin means that a change to a
|
||
|
|
template can result in changes to how a page gets rendered. The version
|
||
|
|
plugin changes page content without any younger page being involved. And
|
||
|
|
editing one of the html templates and rebuilding the wiki can change every
|
||
|
|
page. All of these need to be reflected in the file mtime to avoid caching
|
||
|
|
problems.
