1 [Monotone](http://monotone.ca/) is a distributed revision control system.
2 Ikiwiki supports storing a wiki in a Monotone repository and editing it
3 using the [[cgi]] interface. It will use the Monotone logs to generate the
4 [[RecentChanges]] page.
6 The monotone support in ikiwiki requires the Monotone perl module to be
7 installed. (It's available from the contrib/ directory in the monotone
8 source.) In particular, it needs version 0.03 or higher of that module.
9 The module is available from the monotone source repository at:
10 <http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/branch/changes/net.venge.monotone>
12 Monotone support works, but there are still a few minor missing bits (listed here so they are not forgotten):
14 * The [[post-commit]] hook support is not yet completly implemented.
15 * Documentation (this page) could be improved.
17 There is also a mismatch between the way Ikiwiki handles conflicts and the
18 way Monotone handles conflicts. At present, if there is a conflict, then
19 Ikiwiki will commit a revision with conflict markers before presenting it
20 to the user. This is ugly, but there is no clean way to fix it at present.
