Hi Joey and many thanks for your work on ikiwiki, as usual you give us a very good soft...

I want to be able to edit my website from a navigator (with the CGI) and from my favorite editor on my laptop. I have managed to use the subversion wrapper so I have write a post-commit hook with :

cd /~/wikisrc/ 
svn up
/usr/bin/ikiwiki --setup ../ikiwiki.setup

at the end.

This configuration works for me, the svn wrapper doesn't seems to do the svn up stuff so I wonder if I've missed something...

Regards.

Well, you've created a post-commit script that runs ikiwiki in setup mode. That's not how it's generally done, instead you generally configure ikiwiki to generate a post-commit binary that runs ikiwiki in update mode. That binary can be installed directly as the post-commit hook, or called from an existing post-commit hook script, and it will handle the necessary svn up, and will update the wiki much quicker than your --setup command above (which rebuilds the entire wiki and all wrappers each commit)!

In this wiki's setup file, I configure ikiwiki to generate a post-commit wrapper binary like so:

wrappers => [ { wrapper => "/srv/svn/ikiwiki/hooks/post-commit", wrappermode => "04755", notify => 1, } ],
