Why can't ikiwiki itself detect -the "cvs add " call and avoid doing anything in that case? ---[[Joey]] - -> The wrapper wrapper does three things: -> -> 7. It ignores `cvs add `, since this is a weird CVS -> behavior that ikiwiki gets confused by and doesn't need to act on. -> 7. It prevents `cvs` locking against itself: `cvs commit` takes a -> write lock and runs the post-commit hook, which runs `cvs update`, -> which wants a read lock and sleeps forever -- unless the post-commit -> hook runs in the background so the commit can "finish". -> 7. It fails silently if the ikiwiki post-commit hook is missing. -> CVS doesn't have any magic post-commit filenames, so hooks have to -> be configured explicitly. I don't think a commit will actually fail -> if a configured post-commit hook is missing (though I can't test -> this at the moment). -> -> Thing 1 can probably be handled within ikiwiki, if that seems less -> gross to you. -> -> Thing 2 I'm less sure of. (I'd like to see the web UI return -> immediately on save anyway, to a temporary "rebuilding, please wait -> if you feel like knowing when it's done" page, but this problem -> with CVS happens with any kind of commit, and could conceivably -> happen with some other VCS.) -> -> Thing 3 I think I did in order to squelch the error messages that -> were bollixing up the CGI. It was easy to do this in the wrapper -> wrapper, but if that's going away, it can be done just as easily -> with output redirection in `CVSROOT/loginfo`. -> -> --[[schmonz]]
