doc/bugs/aggregate_plugin_should_honour_a_post__39__s_mctime.mdwn



It would be nice if the [[aggregate_plugin|plugins/aggregate]] would try to
extract the m/ctime out of each post and touch the files on the filesystem
appropriately, so that ikiwiki reflects the actual time of the post via the
[[inline_plugin|plugins/inline]], rather than the time when the aggregation ran to pull the post in. --[[madduck]]

Like this? (Existing code in aggregate.pm...) --[[Joey]]

# Set the mtime, this lets the build process get the right creation
# time on record for the new page.
utime $mtime, $mtime, pagefile($guid->{page})
	if defined $mtime && $mtime <= time;


I'll have to debug this, it's not working here... and this is an ikiwiki aggregator scraping another ikiwiki site.
