|

|
I have converted the [GNU Hurd](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/)'s previous
|
|
web pages and previous wiki pages to a *[[ikiwiki]]* system; and all that while
|
|
preserving the previous content's history, which was stored in a CVS repository
|
|
for the HTML web pages and a TWiki RCS repository for the wiki; see
|
|
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/colophon.html>.

# Issues to Work On
|
|
|
|
## Stability of Separate Builds
|
|
|
|
The goal is that separate builds of the same source files should yield the
|
|
exactly same HTML code (of course, except for changes due to differences in
|
|
Markdown rendering, for example).
|
|
|
|
* Timestamps -- [[forum/ikiwiki__39__s_notion_of_time]], [[forum/How_does_ikiwiki_remember_times__63__]]
|
|
|
|
Git set's the current *mtime* when checking out files. The result is that
|
|
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/contact_us.html> and
|
|
<http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/contact_us/> show different *Last
|
|
edited* timestamps.
|
|
|
|
This can either be solved by adding a facility to Git to set the
|
|
checked-out files' *mtime* according to the *AuthorDate* / *CommitDate*
|
|
(which one...), or doing that retroactively with the
|
|
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/set_mtimes> script before building, or
|
|
with a ikiwiki-internal solution.
|
|
|
|
* HTML character entities
|
|
|
|
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/purify_html>
|
|
|
|
## Tags -- [[bugs/tagged__40____41___matching_wikilinks]]
|
|
|
|
Tags should be a separate concept from wikilinks.
|
|
|
|
### \[[!map]] behavior
|
|
|
|
The \[[!map]] on, for example,
|
|
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/tag/open_issue_hurd.html>, should not show
|
|
the complete hierarchy of pages, but instead just the pages that actually *do*
|
|
contain the \[[!tag open_issue_hurd]].
|
|
|
|
> `tagged(open_issue_hurd)` in its pagespec should do that. --[[Joey]]
|
|
|
|
>> Well, that's exactly what this page contains: \[[!map
|
|
>> pages="tagged(open_issue_hurd) and !open_issues and !*/discussion"
|
|
>> show=title]]
|
|
>>
|
|
>> This is currently rendered as can be seen on
|
|
>> <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/tag/open_issue_hurd.html>, but I'd imagine
|
|
>> it to be rendered by **only** linking to the pages that actually do contain
|
|
>> the tag, (**only** the outer leaf ones, which are *capturing stdout and
|
|
>> stderr*, *ramdisk*, *syncfs*, ...; but **not** to *hurd*, *debugging*,
|
|
>> *translator*, *libstore*, *examples*, ...). Otherwise, the way it's being
|
|
>> rendered at the moment, it appears to the reader that *hurd*, *debugging*,
|
|
>> *translator*, *libstore*, *examples*, ... were all tagged, too, and not only
|
|
>> the outer ones.
|
|
|
|
## Anchors -- [[ikiwiki/wikilink/discussion]]
|
|
|
|
## Default Content for Meta Values -- [[plugins/contrib/default_content_for___42__copyright__42___and___42__license__42__]]
|
|
|
|
This will decrease to be relevant, as we're going to add copyright and
|
|
licensing headers to every single file.
|
|
|
|
## [[bugs/img vs align]]
|
|
|
|
## Texinfo -- [[plugins/contrib/texinfo]]
|
|
|
|
Not very important. Have to consider external commands / files / security (see
|
|
[[plugins/teximg]] source code)?
|
|
|
|
## Shortcuts -- [[plugins/shortcut/discussion]]
|
|
|
|
## \[[!meta redir]] -- [[todo/__42__forward__42__ing_functionality_for_the_meta_plugin]]
|
|
|
|
Implement a checker that makes sure that no pages that use \[[!meta redir]]
|
|
redirect to another page (and are thus considered legacy pages for providing
|
|
stable URLs, for example) are linked to from other wiki pages. This is useful
|
|
w.r.t. backlinks. Alternative, the backlinks to the \[[!meta redir]]-using
|
|
pages could perhaps be passed on to the referred-to page?
|
|
|
|
> I found that backlinks was an easy way to find such links to such pages.
|
|
> (Although the redirection made it hard to see the backlinks!) --[[Joey]]
|
|
|
|
## \[[!meta redir]] -- tell what's going on
|
|
|
|
Add functionality that a text like *this page's content has moved to [new
|
|
page]; in a few seconds you'll be redirected thither* is displayed on every
|
|
page that uses \[[!meta redir]].
|
|
|
|
## Sendmail -- [[todo/passwordauth:_sendmail_interface]]
|
|
|
|
## [[bugs/Broken Parentlinks]]
|
|
|
|
## Modifying [[plugins/inline]] for showing only an *appetizer*
|
|
|
|
Currently ikiwiki's inline plugin will either show the full page or nothing of
|
|
it. Often that's too much. One can manually use the [[plugins/toggle]] plugin
|
|
-- see the *News* section on <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/>. Adding a new
|
|
mode to the inline plugin to only show an *appetizer* ending with *... (read
|
|
on)* after a customizable amount of characters (or lines) would be a another
|
|
possibility. The *... (read on)* would then either toggle the full content
|
|
being displayed or link to the complete page.
|
|
|
|
> You're looking for [[plugins/more]] (or possibly a way to do that automatically,
|
|
> I suppose. --[[Joey]]
|
|
|
|
## Prefix For the HTML Title
|
|
|
|
The title of each page (as in `<html><head><title>`...) should be prefixed with
|
|
*GNU Project - GNU Hurd -*. We can either do this directly in `page.tmpl`, or
|
|
create a way to modify the `TITLE` template variable suitably.
|
|
|
|
## [[plugins/inline]] feedfile option
|
|
|
|
Not that important. Git commit b67632cdcdd333cf0a88d03c0f7e6e62921f32c3. This
|
|
would be nice to have even when *not* using *usedirs*. Might involve issues as
|
|
discussed in *N-to-M Mapping of Input and Output Files* on
|
|
[[plugins/contrib/texinfo]].
|
|
|
|
## Unverified -- these may be bugs, but have yet to be verified
|
|
|
|
* ikiwiki doesn't change its internal database when \[[!meta date]] /
|
|
\[[!meta updated]] are added / removed, and thusly these meta values are
|
|
not promulgated in RSS / Atom feeds.
|
|
|
|
> I would rather see this filed as a bug, but FWIW, the problem
|
|
> is probably that meta does not override the mdate_3339
|
|
> template variable used by the atom and rss templates.
|
|
> (Meta does store ctime directly in the ikiwiki database, but cannot
|
|
> store mtime in \%pagemtime because it would mess up detection of when
|
|
> actual file mtimes change.) --[[Joey]]
|
|
|
|
* Complicated issue w.r.t. *no text was copied in this page*
|
|
([[plugins/cutpaste]]) in RSS feed (only; not Atom?) under some conditions
|
|
(refresh only, but not rebuild?). Perhaps missing to read in / parse some
|
|
files?
|
|
|
|
* [[plugins/recentchanges]]
|
|
|
|
* Creates non-existing links to changes.
|
|
|
|
* Invalid *directory link* with `--usedirs`.
|
|
|
|
* Doesn't honor `$timeformat`.
|
|
|
|
* Does create `recentchangees.*` files even if that is overridden.
