+I'm often confused about permissions and I wish ikiwiki could stamp it's foot down and ensure all the permissions are correctly (canonically?) setup.
+
+I keep ending up having to `sudo chown -R :www-data` and `sudo chmod -R g+w` on srcdir, destdir. I'm never quite sure what is the best practice for the srcdirs' `/srv/git/` is. Currently everything looks like `hendry:www-data` with ug+rw.
+
+I think I've triggered these problems by (not thinking and) running `ikiwiki --rebuild --setup /home/hendry/.ikiwiki/mywiki.setup` as my user.
+
+I don't know if there can be some lookup with `/etc/ikiwiki/wikilist`.  Though shouldn't everything be under the `www-data` group in reality?
+
+Also when I use `sudo ikiwiki -setup /etc/ikiwiki/auto.setup`, I think I create a ton of problems for myself since everything is created as the root user, right? And `/etc/ikiwiki/wikilist` doesn't seem to have the latest created wiki added. I have to reluctantly manually do this.

+I wrote a script that will download all the latest revisions of a mediawiki site. In short, it does a good part of the stuff required for the migration: it downloads the goods (ie. the latest version of every page, automatically) and commits the resulting structure. There's still a good few pieces missing for an actual complete conversion to ikiwiki, but it's a pretty good start. It only talks with mediawiki through HTTP, so no special access is necessary. The downside of that is that it will not attempt to download every revision for performance reasons. The code is here: http://anarcat.ath.cx/software/mediawikigitdump.git/ See header of the file for more details and todos. -- [[users/Anarcat]] 2010-10-15

 The u32 page is excellent, but I wonder if documenting the procedure here
 would be worthwhile. Who knows, the remote site might disappear. But also
 there are some variations on the approach that might be useful:

 when you make ikiwiki it gives you a .git folder with the ikiwiki files. Stay out of this folder. You want to learn how to create a clone and make all your changes in the clone. When you push the changes ikiwiki will update. I moved a file in this folder by accident because I named my working file the same and I couldn't get into the setup page. I had apparently messed up my ikiwiki git repository. I did a pull into my clone, deleted the repository and webserver/ cgi folders and ran a new setup. Then I did a git clone and dragged all my old files into the new clone. Did the git dance and did git push. Then the angels sang.
