I'm having some difficulties with ikiwiki's notion of time.
|
|
|
|
For (regular) pages, the *last edited* date is the one where the file
|
|
was indeed last modified according to the file system information.
|
|
The *created* date (commented out in the HTML) is, at least for
|
|
`--getctime` operation, the date, where the file was last registered
|
|
as changed with the VCS.
|
|
|
|
Now, at least with git, the thing is that when you're checking out files,
|
|
they'll get the checkout-time's current time stamp.
|
|
|
|
What I strive for is the following: *created* be the date when the file
|
|
(under its current name) was *first* registered with the VCS (which is
|
|
more logical in my opinion), and *last edited* be the date the file was
|
|
last registered as changed with the VCS, which is the current
|
|
`--getctime` *created* date.
|
|
|
|
This means that I can build the HTML files from different checkouts of the
|
|
VCS and they won't differ in the time stamps they contain in the HTML.
|
|
|
|
What is the rationale for ikiwiki's current behavior with respect to these
|
|
time stamps?
