These are for use by wikis where the primary language is not English.
On such a wiki, it makes sense to use an underlay has the source for pages
in the native language.
* Add IkiWiki::ErrorReason objects, and modify pagespecs to return
them in cases where they fail to match due to a configuration or syntax
error.
* inline: Display a handy error message if the inline cannot display any
pages due to such an error.
This is perhaps somewhat incomplete, as other users of pagespecs do not
display the error, and will eventually need similar modifications to inline.
I should probably factor out a pagespec_match_all function and make it throw
ErrorReasons.
This is necessary so that things that fork to the background,
like pinger, and inline ping, don't block other cgis from running.
Note that websetup also calls unlockwiki, before refreshing / rebuilding
the wiki. It makes perfect sense for that not to block other cgis.
* Stop busy-waiting in lockwiki, as this could delay ikiwiki from waking up
for up to one second. The bailout code is no longer needed.
* Remove support for unused optional wait parameter from lockwiki.
This speeds up web commits by 1/4th of a second or so, since perl does
not have to start up for the post commit hook.
perl's locking is completly FuBar, since it's impossible to tell what perl
flock() really does, and thus difficult to write code in other languages
that interoperates with perl's locking. (Let alone interoperating with
existing fcntl locking from perl...)
In this particular case, I think I was able to find a way to avoid the
insanity, mostly. The C code does a true flock(2), and if perl is using an
incompatable lock method that does not use the same locking primative at
the kernel level, then the C code's test will fail, and it will go ahead
and run the perl code. Then the perl code's test will test the right thing.
On Debian, at least lately, perl's flock() does a true flock(2), so the
optimisation does work.
Add an inject function, that can be used by plugins that want to replace
one of ikiwiki's functions with their own version. (This is a scary thing
that grubs through the symbol table, and replaces all exported occurances
of a function with the injected version.)
external: RPC functions can be injected to replace exported functions.
Removed the stupid displaytime hook, and use injection instead.
Need to use a hook because an exported function cannot be reliably
overridden. The replacement verstion was actually only affecting plugins
loaded after it.
formattime doesn't need a hook, since there's no reason to export it.
* Add an underlay for javascript, and add ikiwiki.js containing some utility
code.
* toggle: Stop embedding the full toggle code on each page using it, and
move it to toggle.js in the javascript underlay.
I noticed that ikiwiki/formatting was beilg rebuilt when any page changed.
This turned out to be because it contained a complex conditional
"enabled(foo) or enabled(bar)", and the conditional plugin did not notice
that this consisted only of enabled() tests, and copied it unchanged into
add_depends. Thus, the page's dependencies were satisfied by any page
change.
The fix is to beef up the parser so that it can handle that and more
complex conditionals, and detect if they consist only of such tests.
Upgrades to the new index format should be transparent.
The version field is 3, because 1 was the old textual index, 2 was the
pre-versioned format.
This also includes some efficiency improvements to index loading, by
not copying a hash and using a reference.
