Here's Thomas Schwinge unfinished darcs support for ikiwiki.
(Finishing this has been suggested as a [[soc]] project.)
I haven't been working on this for months and also won't in the near
future. Feel free to use what I have done so
far and bring it into an usable state! Also, feel free to contact me
if there are questions.

This is my (bma) darcs.pm - it's messy (my Perl isn't up to much) but seems to work. It uses just one repo, like the mercurial plugin (unlike the above version, which AIUI uses two).
rcs_commit() uses backticks instead of system(), to prevent darcs' output being sent to the browser and mucking with the HTTP headers (darcs record has no --quiet option). And rcs_recentchanges() uses regexes rather than parsing darcs' XML output.

Well, here's my version too. It only does getctime -- using a real XML parser, instead of regexp ugliness -- and maybe recentchanges, but that may be bitrotted, or maybe I never finished it, as I only need the getctime. As for actual commits, I have previously voiced my opinion, that this should be done by the plugin generating a patch bundle, and forwarding it to darcs in some way (darcs apply or even email to another host, possibly moderated), instead of the hacky direct modification of a working copy. It could also be faster to getctime in a batch. Just reading in all the changes the first time they're needed, might not be a big improvement in many cases, but if we got a batch request from ikiwiki, we could keep reaing the changes until all the files in this batch request have been met. --[[tuomov]]

I merged the two versions above and made some fixes; it is recording my web edits in darcs and showing a recent changes page.
It is in a darcs repository, please send patches. --[[Simon_Michael]]
I'd like to see at least the following fixed before I commit this: --[[Joey]]
- Running
darcs record $filename in backticks is not good (security)
The thing to do is to open stdout to /dev/null before execing darcs.
- Get
rcs_recentchanges_xml working, parsing xml with regexps does
not seem like a maintenance win.
rcs_notify should be removed, it's no longer used.- Some form of conflict handling. Using darcs to attempt to merge
the changes is I gusss optional (although every other rcs backend,
including svn manages to do this), but it needs to at least detect
conflicts and return a page with conflict markers for the user to fix
the conflict.
I have addressed the recentchanges bit, you can find my hacked up darcs.pm at http://web.mornfall.net/stuff/web-root/IkiWiki/Rcs/darcs.pm.
It's got couple of FIXMEs, and a very site-specific filter for recentchanges. Not sure how to do that better though. I will eventually add web commits, probably of my own (and mention it here).
And here's yet another one, including an updated ikiwiki-makerepo. :)
http://khjk.org/~pesco/ikiwiki-darcs/ (now a darcs repo)
Note that there's a 'darcs' branch in git that I'm keeping a copy of your
code in. Just in case. :-)
I've taken all the good stuff from the above and added the missing hooks. The code hasn't seen a lot of testing, so some bugs are likely yet to surface. Also, I'm not experienced with perl and don't know where I should have used the function possibly_foolish_untaint.
Regarding the repository layout: There are two darcs repositories. One is the srcdir, the other we'll call master.
-
HTML is generated from srcdir.
-
CGI edits happen in srcdir.
-
The backend pulls updates from master into srcdir, i.e. darcs commits should happen to master.
-
master calls ikiwiki (through a wrapper) in its apply posthook, i.e. master/_darcs/prefs/defaults should look like this:
apply posthook ikiwrap
apply run-posthook
(I'm not sure, should/could it be ikiwrap --refresh above?)
-
The backend pushes CGI edits from srcdir back into master (triggering the apply hook).
-
The working copies in srcdir and master should not be touched by the user, only by the CGI or darcs, respectively.
Review of this one:
- Should use tab indentation.
rcs_getctime should not need to use a ctime cache (such a cache should
also not be named .ikiwiki.ctimes). rcs_getctime is run exactly
once per page, ever, and the data is cached in ikiwiki's index.- I doubt that ENV{DARCS} will be available, since the wrapper clobbers> the entire
environment. I'd say remove that.
- I don't understand what
darcs_info is doing, but it seems to be
parsing xml with a regexp?
- Looks like
rcs_commit needs a few improvements, as marked TODO
rcs_remove just calls "rm"? Does darcs record notice the file was removed
and automatically commit the removal? (And why system("rm") and not
unlink?)- Is the the darcs info in [[details]] still up-to-date re this version?
--[[Joey]]
Update:
I think I've addressed all of the above except for the XML parsing in darcs_info.
The function determines the md5 hash of the last patch the given file appears in.
That's indeed being done with regexps but my Perl isn't good enough for a quick recode
right now.
As for the darcs info in [[rcs/details]], it does not accurately describe the way
this version works. It's similar, but the details differ slightly.
You could copy my description above to replace it.
There is still some ironing to do, for instance the current version doesn't allow for
modifying attachments by re-uploading them via CGI ("darcs add failed"). Am I assuming
correctly that "adding" a file that's already in the repo should just be a no-op?
--pesco
It should result in the new file contents being committed by
rcs_commit_staged. For some revision control systems, which
automatically commit modifications, it would be a no-op. --[[Joey]]
