Here's how to convert your existing standard format ikiwiki setup file into
the new YAML format recently added to ikiwiki.

1. First, make sure you have the [[!cpan YAML]] perl module installed.
   (Run: `apt-get install libyaml-perl`)
2. Run: `ikiwiki --setup my.setup --dumpsetup my.setup --set setuptype=Yaml`

The format of the YAML setup file should be fairly self-explanatory.

(To convert the other way, use "setuptype=Standard" instead.)

Add [[!meta date]] to news items and tips The git checkout and build process can leave the checkout date in the tarball release, leading to unstable sorting. I tried to use `git restore-mtime`, but that doesn't work for ikiwiki, because dgit interferes with it. 2015-06-09 11:50:00 +02:00			`[[!meta date="2010-03-19 17:58:40 -0400"]]`
