This would allow upgrades to add/edit pages in the basewiki. + +Impementaion will be slightly tricky since currently ikiwiki is hardcoded +in many places to look in srcdir for pages. Also, there are possible +security attacks in the vein of providing a file ikiwiki would normally +skip in the srcdir, and tricking it to processing this file instead of the +one from the underlaydir. + +There are also difficulties related to removing files from the srcdir, and +exposing ones from the underlaydir. Will need to make sure that the mtime +for the source file is zeroed when the page is removed, and that it then +finds the underlay file and treats it as newer. + |
