Attempt to fix a TODO in Automator.pm in combination with the Mercurial backend.

  1. To define hooks, Mercurial uses paths given in the config file .hg/hgrc. To enable Mercurial to call ikiwiki-wrapper automatically after blog/wiki setup, ikiwiki thus needs to create hgrc.
  2. To reflect changes in $config{srcdir} and/or $config{mercurial_wrapper}, relevant lines in hgrc need to be updated on wrapper creation.

ikiwiki can keep track of lines in hgrc for which it is responsible by adding a .ikiwiki suffix to its hooks. This is correct and recommended markup, Mercurial-wise.

Two ways follow below. I prefer the long one. --Daniel Andersson

I comment myself: this can probably be solved without adding ad-hoc hooks and stuff (maybe not as "correct" as changing the config file only directly after wrappers have been generated, but good enough). I have a large rewrite of mercurial.pm ready, currently under local testing before I upload it for comments, trying to make it equal in function to git.pm. Comments below are of course welcome, but I will look into other ways of solving it later. Maybe rcs_checkconfig or rcs_genwrapper should host the hgrc-changing code. --Daniel Andersson

Having a hook that runs after a wrapper is generated may well be a good thing anyway. In ikiwiki-hosting, there are some genwrapper hooks that don't add any code to the wrapper, but are there only to run at, essentially, that time.

With that said, here it seems like unnecessary complexity. Why is mercurial_wrapper configurable at all? Why not just always write it to a specific place relative to the srcdir, and always make the hgrc look there?

(Other rcs plugins have good reasons to make their wrappers configurable, because one might want the wrapper to run as a git post-update or post-commit hook.) --Joey

Compact way (addresses only point 1)

This patch at pastebin (raw version).

Set default ikiwiki-wrapper path.

Create $config{srcdir}/.hg/hgrc with hook info during auto-installation script. Use relative paths to not require manual hgrc intervention if $config{srcdir} is changed. If $config{mercurial_wrapper} is changed, manual edit of hgrc is needed to catch the new wrapper path.

(Is there a security risk with relative paths?)

The code seems to assume that hg will be run from within the srcdir, specifically the top of the srcdir. If it's run from somewhere else, even a subdirectory, this will fail to find the wrapper, or could run some other program. Unless mercurial always interprets these paths as relative to the top of the repository? --Joey

Less compact but more robust way (addresses point 1 and 2)

This complete patch at pastebin (raw version).

This way leaks onto additional files and adds general functionality that may or may not be wanted. The main part of the extra code is contained within mercurial.pm, though.

Set default ikiwiki-wrapper path.
