A short story:
Once there was a unicode string, let's call him Srcdir.
Along came a crufy old File::Find, who went through a tree and pasted each
of the leaves in turn onto Srcdir. But this 90's relic didn't decode the
leaves -- despite some of them using unicode! Poor Srcdir, with these
leaves stuck on him, tainted them with his nice unicode-ness. They didn't
look like leaves at all, but instead garbage.
In other words, perl's unicode support sucks mightily, and drives
us all to drink and bad storytelling. But we knew that..
So, srcdir is not normally flagged as unicode, because typically it's pure
ascii. And in that case, things work ok; File::Find finds filenames, which
are not yet decoded to unicode, and appends them to the srcdir, and then
decode_utf8 happily converts the whole thing.
But, if the srcdir does contain utf8 characters, that breaks. Or, if a Yaml
setup file is used, Yaml::Syck's implicitunicode sets the unicode flag of
*all* strings, even those containing only ascii. In either case, srcdir
has the unicode flag set; a non-decoded filename is appended, and
decode_utf8 sees the flag and does *nothing*. The result is that the
filename is not decoded, so looks valid and gets skipped.
File::Find only sticks the directory and filenames together in no_chdir
mode .. but we need that mode for security. In order to retain the
security, and avoid the problem, I made it not pass srcdir to File::Find.
Instead, chdir to the srcdir, and pass ".". Since "." is ascii, the problem
is avoided.
Note that it takes care to chdir back to the starting location. Because
the user may have specified relative paths and so staying in the srcdir
might break. A relative path could even be specifed for an underlay dir, so
it chdirs back after each.
The bug here was that disabling a plugin included thru goodstuff, like
htmlscrubber, caused it to be added to disable_plugins, and those plugins
were never loaded, so could not be re-enabled. Fix by allowing them to be
force loaded when appropriate. (Also that allows disabled plugins to still
record their setup options when dumping a setup file.)
* calendar: Shorten day names, and improve styling of month calendar.
* style.css: Reduced sidebar width back to 20ex from 30; the month calendar
will now fit in the smaller width, and 30 was feeling too large.
The key is using width: auto; overflow: auto; -- this allows the div(s) to the
left of the floating sidebar to be resized to fit next to it, and prevents
any clear: both from pushing the div down below the end of the sidebar.
Many thanks for the Hurd wiki's developers for originally figuring this out.
The edit page recently developed the same problem with its textarea, now
that a sidebar can appear on that page too. In editpage.tmpl I needed to
add a new div around the editcontent textarea, as the above styles cannot
be applied directly to textareas. The textarea's own width is reduced to
98% because at least in chromium this avoids it getting unnecessary
horizonatl scrollbars when a sidebar is displayed next to it.

smcv: [10:59:01] is the logical thing you want a <div> whose meaning is "the bits the sidebar is allowed to accompany"?
bzed: [10:59:14] yeah
bzed: [10:59:58] then you could just ensure that this part is as high as the sidebar
smcv: [11:02:44] wrapping a <div> around the sidebar, content and comments seems like the way forward, then
The linktype check was being done on the relativised link target,
but %typedlinks uses the same link targets as %links, so that didn't work.
I think the bug only appeared when tagbase was not set.
This bugfix also let me factor out the common typedlink checking code.
To match calendars, which use local time. Particularly important at
the end of the month.
I checked the history, and there seemed no good rationalle for the
pagespecs to use gmtime.
Problem is that by the time rendering calls render_dependent, %pagesources
has had deleted files removed from it. So match_comment's lookup of
files in there to see if they had the _comment extension failed.
I had to introduce a hash that temporarily holds filenames of deleted pages
to fix this.
Note that unlike comment(), internal() had avoided this pitfall by being
defined to match both internal and non-internal pages.
