This was impressively broken. add_depends was being called with params
backwards, and on parameter was set to the name of the generated
file, which isn't in the source.
Now updates to images will update the page that contains them, thus
updating them. This is unncessary for fullsize images, so skipped.
Serving up images etc. as text/plain; charset=utf-8 is unlikely to work
very well, and there's no point in having this CGI action for attachments
(since they're copied into the output as-is anyway).
In order to support translated basewiki and other underlays, we need
support for mo files in underlays.
The code did not allow this before, because if a mo file was in an
underlay, then it might try to update it, and its pot, and write to the
underlay, which is guaranteed to either fail due to permissions, or be
undesirable.
To fix, my approach is to just detect if a mo or pot file that is about to
be updated is in an underlay, and skip updating it. This seems to work
well:
- If the mo is out of date in the underlay, it won't get updated, but this
would probably be due to a problem in the underlay, or more likely,
the wiki is being rebuilt and so it *thinks* the mo is out of date,
but it's really not (and it would be a waste of time to rebuild it
anyway).
- If a page from the basewiki is edited, it is saved to the srcdir,
which causes generation of an updated mo and pot also in the srcdir;
the underlay stops being used for that page, and everything seems
to work.
Note that I am not including an underlay search directory for pot files.
They *seem* to be unnecessary for the underlay, since the mo files
in there never need to be updated.
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.
On various sites I have two IkiWiki instances running from the same
repository: one accessible via http and only accepting openid logins,
and one accessible via authenticated https and only accepting httpauth.
The https version should still pretty-print OpenIDs seen in git history,
even though it does not itself accept OpenID logins.
