The current example [[ikiwiki.setup]] file has a number of options included, but commented out. This is standard. Unfortunately there are two standards for the settings of those commented out options:
|
||||
|
||||
- Have the commented out options showing the default setting, or
|
||||
- Have the commented out options showing the most common alternate setting.
|
||||
|
||||
Each of these has its advantages. The first makes it clear what the default setting is. The second makes it easy to switch the option on -- you just uncomment the option.
|
||||
|
||||
My issue with ikiwiki's example setup file is that it doesn't appear to be consistent. Looking at the 'svn' entries (the first set of rcs entries), we see that
|
||||
|
||||
svnpath => "trunk",
|
||||
|
||||
is an example of the first type, but
|
||||
|
||||
rcs => "svn",
|
||||
|
||||
is an example of the second type.
|
||||
|
||||
I think things could be improved if a clear decision was made here. Most of the settings seem to be of the second type. Perhaps all that is needed is for settings of the first type to grow a comment:
|
||||
|
||||
svnpath => "trunk", #default
|
||||
|
||||
What do others think?
