----
First pass over Tumov's patch -- which doesn't cleanly apply anymore, so
-I'll attach an updated and slightly modified version below.
-
-* `urlto()` is O(N) to the number of pages in the wiki, which leads to
- O(N^2) behavior, which could be a scalability problem. This happens because
- of the lookup for `$to` in `%renderedfiles`, which shouldn't be necessary
- most of the time. Couldn't it just be required that `$to` be a html page
- name on input? Or require it be a non-html page name and always run
- htmlpage on it.
-
- > Perhaps it would be possible to require that, but it seems like a
- > very artificial restriction. The renderedfiles search is just a
- > copy-paste from htmllink, and I'm no perl (or ikiwiki internals)
- > expert... maybe there would be a faster way to do the check whether
- > name translation is needed? No more than O(log n) steps should be
- > needed for a simple search, after all, and maybe there would be shortcuts
- > for even constant-time (in n) checks. --[[tuomov]]
+I'll attach an updated and modified version below. --[[Joey]]
* As we discussed in email, this will break handling of `foo/index.mdwn`
pages. Needs to be changed to generate `foo/index/index.html` for such
>> Can someone elaborate on this? What's broken about it? Will pages
>> foo/index/index.html include foo/index in their parentlinks? --Ethan
+ >>> Presently the patch does not move `foo/index.type` as `foo/index/index.html`, but renders
+ >>> it as `foo/index.html`, not because I particularly want that (except for the top-level one, of
+ >>> course), but because it could be done :). This, however, conflicts with a `foo.mdwn`
+ >>> rendered as `foo/index.html`. The easiest and cleanest way to fix this, is to simply
+ >>> not handle `index` in such a special manner -- except for the top-level one. --[[tuomov]]
+
+ >>>> Oh, I see, this patch doesn't address wanting to use foo/index.mdwn as
+ >>>> an input page. Hmm. --Ethan
+
+ >>>>> No, it doesn't. I originally also was after that, but after discussing the
+ >>>>> complexities of supporting that with Joey, came up with this simpler scheme
+ >>>>> without many of those issues. It is the output that I primarily care about, anyway,
+ >>>>> and I do, in fact, find the present input file organisation quite nice. The output
+ >>>>> locations just aren't very good for conversion of an existing site to ikiwiki, and do
+ >>>>> make for rather ugly URLs with the .html extensions. (I do often type some URLs
+ >>>>> out of memory, when they're gone from the browser's completion history, and the
+ >>>>> .html makes that more laboursome.)
+
+ >>>>>> I support your decision, but now this wiki page serves two different patches :).
+ >>>>>> Can we split them somehow?
+ >>>>>> What are the complexities involved?
+ >>>>>> I think I overcomplicated it a little with my patch, and Per Bothner's gets
+ >>>>>> much closer to the heart of it. --Ethan
+
* This does make the resulting wikis much less browsable directly on the
filesystem, since `dir` to `dir/index.html` conversion is only handled by web
servers and so you end up browsing to a directory index all the time.
> cleaner URLs for the Web, that I specifically want it. This is,
> after all, an optional arrangement.
+ >> It's optional for *now* ... I suppose that I could make adding the
+ >> index.html yet another option. I'm not _that_ fond of optioons
+ >> however. --[[Joey]]
+
+ >>> It is worth noting, that with this patch, you _can_ render the local
+ >>> copy in the present manner, while rendering the Web copy under
+ >>> directories. So no extra options are really needed for local browsing,
+ >>> unless you also want to serve the same copy over the Web, which I
+ >>> doubt. --[[tuomov]]
+
* Some of the generated links are missing the trailing / , which is
innefficient since it leads to a http redirect when clicking on that
link. Seems to be limited to ".." links, and possibly only to
parentlinks. (Already fixed it for "." links.)
+
+ > The solution seems to be to add to `urlto` the following snippet,
+ > which might also help with the next point. (Sorry, no updated patch
+ > yet. Should be on my way out in the cold anyway...)
+
+ if ( !length $to ) {
+ return baseurl($from);
+ }
+
+ >> Indeed, this brings the number of abs2rels closer to par, as well
+ >> as fixing the .. links. --[[Joey]]
+
* It calles abs2rel about 16% more often with the patch, which makes it
a bit slower, since abs2rel is not very efficient. (This omits abs2rel
calls that might be memoized away already.) This seems to be due to one
> Something like `targetpage(basename, extension)`?
-* `aggregate.pm` uses htmlpage in a way that breaks with its new behavior.
- It will need to be changed as follows:
+ >> Yes exactly. It might also be possible to remove htmlpage from the
+ >> plugin interface entirely (in favour of urlto), which would be a
+ >> good time to make such a changes. Not required to accept this patch
+ >> though.

-Updated version of Tumov's patch follows:
+Latest version of my patch... with most of the stuff that's been discussed, including `targetpage`.
+Also available [here](http://iki.fi/tuomov/use_dirs-20070221.diff). (BTW, this posting, applying, and
+updating of plain-old-diffs containing all the previous changes is starting to be painful. Reminds
+me why I use darcs..) --[[tuomov]]
