-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](bma@bmalee.eu)) 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](http://joyful.com/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=ikiwiki-darcs), 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.
+I've taken all the good stuff from the above (now deleted --[[Joey]]) 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`.
