That's a thought. > OTOH, it could be nice to also provide the stuff to manage our own > Cookbook reference repository, configuring wikis with: > > $RecipeListUrl = 'http://10.0.42.2/pmwiki/recipelist'; > > ie., the recipelist generator [c|s]hould be included in the recipe itself: > > $RecipeListUrl = > 'http://10.0.42.2/wiki/Cookbook/RecipeCheck?action=recipelist'; ...except that the generator has to have copies of all of the relevant Cookbook pages from pmwiki.org in order to generate the list. Since a reference repository would need to be grabbing Cookbook pages and scripts from pmwiki.org anyway, it seems like it would be easy for the repository to grab a copy of the latest recipelist file at the same time. Then the individual wikis could set: $RecipeListUrl = 'http://10.0.42.2/path/to/recipelist'; Or, if it's a wikifarm, one can just as easily do $RecipeListUrl = "$FarmD/cookbook/recipelist"; Yes, it's possible that someone might want to maintain a repository that has a different set of recipes than pmwiki.org and therefore want to generate a different recipelist... but I'm guessing that isn't all that likely. If someone is _really_ intending to build a new repository that isn't just a mirror of pmwiki.org's Cookbook, let me know so we can work on doing it correctly. I don't have any real issue with releasing the code that generates the recipelist, but it would be as an unsupported recipe.
