\ No newline at end of file +ikiwiki could have an option to process /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist and run ikiwiki +in aggregate mode for all wikis that need it. The Debian package could then +include an optional cron job to automatically handle aggregation. + +> You can actually use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild for this. Just pass --aggregate +> --refresh to it. (The program could have a clearer name, perhaps I should +> rename it to mass-ikiwiki? ikiwiki-map? ikiwiki-all? ...) +> +> A cron job like the one +> you suggest could also handle cases when plugins call for a page +> to be rebuilt. For example, a calendar plugin could use this to refresh a +> calendar daily. +> +> I do worry that such a cron job would produce more load than might be optimal. +> If you have one wiki that never needs to updated, +> another that might want to update daily, and a third that wants to update +> every 15 minutes for aggregation, updating all three every 15 minutes wastes +> a bit of CPU time. Two cron jobs seem like a better fit +> in this situation, rather than a one size fits all master cron job. But it +> would be fine adding a cron job as an example, at least. +> +> Another problem is that ikiwiki --aggregate will fail on any wikis that don't +> have the aggregate plugin enabled. This is really a problem with the plugin's +> special-casey approach of adding a new flag. This could be fixed by adding +> a more general syntax like "--set aggregate=1". (done) +> +> Sorry for making this sound so complex, it's a good idea, but I'm on an +> airplane and have nothing good to do except blather on here, and read +> haskell tutorials. ;-) --[[Joey]] |
