[[!meta date="2007-08-17 03:54:10 +0000"]] I'm playing around with various ways that I can use subversion with ikiwiki. * Is it possible to have ikiwiki point to a subversion repository which is on a different server? The basic checkin/checkout functionality seems to work but there doesn't seem to be any way to make the post-commit hook work for a non-local server? > This is difficult to do since ikiwiki's post-commit wrapper expects to > run on a machine that contains both the svn repository and the .ikiwiki > state directory. However, with recent versions of ikiwiki, you can get > away without running the post-commit wrapper on commit, and all you lose > is the ability to send commit notification emails. > (And now that [[recentchanges]] includes rss, you can just subscribe to > that, no need to worry about commit notification emails anymore.) * Is it possible / sensible to have ikiwiki share a subversion repository with other data (either completely unrelated files or another ikiwiki instance)? This works in part but again the post-commit hook seems problematic. --[[AdamShand]] > Sure, see ikiwiki's subversion repository for example of non-wiki files > in the same repo.
