Especially as I would like to know the order of my todo list without having to view the webpage. ++ ++What I discovered ++----------------- ++ ++Looked at the code and saw the functions for grabbing the ctime from git but couldn't reconcile them to the "Posted" date in the RSS feed. Some more reading and I figured out that the Posted time is taken from the UNIX ctime when first uploaded into the repository and this information is stored in the page state via a Perl storable database - indexdb. (I'm sure most know this but to be clear in UNIX ctime is *not* the actual creation time of a file. UNIX has no facility for recording the actual creation time - however on first upload to the wiki it's good enough). ++ ++Wrote a Perl script to query and sort indexdb. Now I can list my todos or blog posts in the order they appear on the web. Handy. ++ ++However the ikiwiki state is specifically excluded via '.gitignore'. I work a lot on trains and not having this file in my cloned wiki means I can't list published posts or my todos in the proper order. I can get an approximation from git logs but, dam it, I want it the same! ++ ++What can I do? ++-------------- ++ ++Is it a spectacularly bad idea to include the ikiwiki state file in my cloned repo (I suspect it is). What else could be done? Can I disable pagestate somehow or force ikiwiki to always use git commit times for Posted times? ++ + +</pre> +</div> + +<!-- 23e3e5f15e61639ccba4a7dfbab11d6fe4b9f047 --> |
