I want to know exactly how ikiwiki remembers the times associated with pages, especially when using it for blogging, so I know whether I can trust it or not. From that last thread, I think what ikiwiki does is this: + +* The created time of a file is when that file was first committed into the versioning repository (in my case git) +* The modified time of a file is what that file was last updated in the repository + +And with a blog, by default, the posts are ordered by creation time, although an option can order them by modified time. + +Okay. So this should mean that the times are safe if, for example, I delete my working copy and then clone another one from the bare git repository, or otherwise mess up the creation times and mtimes stored as file metadata on the filesystem. + +Do I have it right? |
