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. |

README
Use ./Makefile.PL to generate a Makefile, "make" will build the documentation wiki and a man page, and "make install" will install ikiwiki. All other documentation is in the ikiwiki documentation wiki, which is also available online at <http://ikiwiki.info/> A few special variables you can set while using the Makefile: PROFILE=1 turns on profiling for the build of the doc wiki. (Uses Devel::Profile) NOTAINT=0 turns on the taint flag in the ikiwiki program. (Not recommended unless your perl is less buggy than mine -- see http://bugs.debian.org/411786) There are also other variables supported by MakeMaker, including PREFIX, INSTALL_BASE, and DESTDIR. See ExtUtils::MakeMaker(3). In particular, INSTALL_BASE is very useful if you want to install ikiwiki to some other location, as it configures it to see the perl libraries there. See `doc/tips/nearlyfreespeech.mdwn` for an example of using this to install ikiwiki and its dependencies in a home directory.
