-`IkiWiki::RCS::svn`.
+ikiwiki's support for [[revision_control_systems|rcs]] is also done via
+plugins. See [[RCS_details|rcs/details]] for some more info.
+
+RCS plugins must register a number of hooks. Each hook has type 'rcs',
+and the 'id' field is set to the name of the hook. For example:
+
+ hook(type => "rcs", id => "rcs_update", call => \&rcs_update);
+ hook(type => "rcs", id => "rcs_prepedit", call => \&rcs_prepedit);
+
+#### `rcs_update()`
+
+Updates the working directory with any remote changes.
+
+#### `rcs_prepedit($)`
+
+Is passed a file to prepare to edit. It can generate and return an arbitrary
+token, that will be passed into `rcs_commit` when committing. For example,
+it might return the current revision ID of the file, and use that
+information later when merging changes.
+
+#### `rcs_commit($$$;$$)`
+
+Passed a file, message, token (from `rcs_prepedit`), user, and ip address.
+Should try to commit the file. Returns `undef` on *success* and a version
+of the page with the rcs's conflict markers on failure.
+
+#### `rcs_commit_staged($$$)`
+
+Passed a message, user, and ip address. Should commit all staged changes.
+Returns undef on success, and an error message on failure.
+
+Changes can be staged by calls to `rcs_add, `rcs_remove`, and
+`rcs_rename`.
+
+#### `rcs_add($)`
+
+Adds the passed file to the archive. The filename is relative to the root
+of the srcdir.
+
+Note that this should not check the new file in, it should only
+prepare for it to be checked in when rcs_commit (or `rcs_commit_staged`) is
+called. Note that the file may be in a new subdir that is not yet in
+to version control; the subdir can be added if so.
+
+#### `rcs_remove($)`
+
+Remove a file. The filename is relative to the root of the srcdir.
+
+Note that this should not check the removal in, it should only prepare for it
+to be checked in when `rcs_commit` (or `rcs_commit_staged`) is called. Note
+that the new file may be in a new subdir that is not yet inversion
+control; the subdir can be added if so.
+
+#### `rcs_rename($$)`
+
+Rename a file. The filenames are relative to the root of the srcdir.
+
+Note that this should not commit the rename, it should only
+prepare it for when `rcs_commit` (or `rcs_commit_staged`) is called.
+The new filename may be in a new subdir, that is not yet added to
+version control. If so, the subdir will exist already, and should
+be added to revision control.
+
+#### `rcs_recentchanges($)`
+
+Examine the RCS history and generate a list of recent changes.
+The parameter is how many changes to return.
+
+The data structure returned for each change is:
+
+ {
+ rev => # the RCSs id for this commit
+ user => # name of user who made the change,
+ committype => # either "web" or the name of the rcs,

+ ],
+ pages => [
+ {
+ page => # name of page changed,
+ diffurl => # optional url to a diff of changes
+ },
+ # repeat for each page changed in this commit,
+ ],
+ }
+
+#### `rcs_diff($)`
+
+The parameter is the rev from `rcs_recentchanges`.
+Should return a list of lines of the diff (including \n) in list
+context, and the whole diff in scalar context.
+
+#### `rcs_getctime($)`

+a ikiwiki setup file, which could be loaded in, and written back out.
-If `ikiwiki-makerepo` were extended a little bit to generate the stub setup
-file that's enough to get `ikiwiki.cgi` working, and that sets values for
-all the dangerous options, leaving only safe ones 'undef', then users could
-set up ikiwiki using it, and configure the rest with the web interface,
-without ever needing to edit a setup file.
+The underlying work has been done to privide metadata about all options via
+getsetup hooks, so it's just a matter of writing a web interface plugin.
-The setup page could `require` every available plugin, and then call a
-`getsetup` function, which would look something like:
+The plugin could have these config options:
- sub getsetup () {
- eval q{use Some::Thing};
- die $@ if $@;
+ # list of options to include in web setup (safe = all things with safe = 1)
+ websetup_include => [qw{safe}],
+ # list of options to exclude from web setup
+ websetup_exclude => [qw{option_baz}],
- return option_foo => {
- safe => 1,
- rebuild => 1,
- type => "boolean",
- default => 0,
- description => gettext("Enable foo."),
- },
- option_bar => {
- safe => 0,
- rebuild => 0,
- type => "password",
- default => "",
- description => gettext("Password for bar."),
- };
- }
-
-The types would be: boolean, string, password, filename, other.
-This would be the type of the leaf fields; if a value in `%config` is an
-array or hash, the type specifies the type of values that go into it.
-
-From this info, a form can be built, that has core setup values at the
-top, followed by each plugin whose `getsetup` succeeded, with a check box
-to enable/disable that plugin, and all of its setup options listed after
-it.
-
-The main setup file could control what options are read from the
-online setup file:
-
- online_setup_include => 'safe', # all things with safe = 1
- online_setup_exclude => [qw{option_baz}],
-
-Note that posting the setup form would sometimes need to cause a rebuild
-of the whole wiki. This could be done with output streamed to the admin in
-the web browser. The `rebuild` fields would be set to 1 for values that
-require a wiki rebuild when changed, and to 0 for values that only need the
-wrappers to be refreshed.
+Leaning toward just making it write out to the same setup file, rather than
+writing to a subsidiary setup file. However, this would mean that any
+comments in the file would be lost, and that it couldn't be used if the
+setup file had weird stuff (perl code, etc).
