doc/todo/po:_remove_po_files_when_disabling_plugin.mdwn



ikiwiki now has a disable hook. Should the po plugin remove the po
files from the source repository when it has been disabled?

pot files, possibly, but the po files contain work, so no. --[[Joey]]


I tried to implement this in my po-disable branch, but AFAIK, the
current rcs plugins interface provides no way to tell whether a
given file (e.g. a POT file in my case) is under version control;
in most cases, it is not, thanks to .gitignore or similar, but we
can't be sure. So I just can't decide it is needed to call
rcs_remove rather than a good old unlink. --[[intrigeri]]


I guess you could call rcs_remove followed by unlink. --[[Joey]]
