son of DocHowto

to avoid garbage now I only commit ''pages/'' to github

pet@girl:~/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data$ ls -l pages
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pet pet 16 2009-10-28 15:12 pages -> /home/pet/pages/
pet@girl:~/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data$

and I have such script in ''pages/''

rm -rf  -/cache
rm -/edit-lock
git add .
git commit -a -m "default commit message"
git push

Problems

of course I am expecting to lose some tmp data currently the only problem I find it '''RecentChanges''' info is lost if you

 rm -rf moin-1.8.5/

and use a fresh one form web

REASON: we lost this file

pet@girl:~/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data$ edit-log

Delete Cache

I modified pages/ at home, and when I am in office, I do a git push and updates some wiki pages, but in brower, I still have only the old pages, even I clicked the refresh button

'' action->delete cache '' is required actually FrontPage

What I need to backup on earth

study

Now the problem is when I run ''git add .'' and ''git commit'', lots of run-time tmp files is added ,such as

cache/
xxx.pyc
edit-lock

So below I did a test to see what is the part I really need to backup

pet@pet-desktop:~/Desktop/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages$ ls
BadContent
pet@pet-desktop:~/Desktop/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages$ cp -rf /home/pet/github/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages/- .
pet@pet-desktop:~/Desktop/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages$ ls

pet@pet-desktop:~/Desktop/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages$ ls HwaniiPpt/
cache  current  edit-lock  edit-log  revisions
pet@pet-desktop:~/Desktop/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages$ rm -rf -/cache
pet@pet-desktop:~/Desktop/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages$ rm -rf -/edit-lock
pet@pet-desktop:~/Desktop/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages$ ls HwaniiPpt/
current  edit-log  revisions
pet@pet-desktop:~/Desktop/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages$

what I have done above is actually trying to use what is really necessary

pet@pet-desktop:~/Desktop/moin-1.8.5/wiki/data/pages$ ls HwaniiPpt/
current  edit-log  revisions

in a new moni-tree, to see if all my pages still works or not. The answer is yes, which means I only need to back up the '''necessary''' part.

action ***

so I can

backup only ''.../wiki/data/page/''
write a shell script to
- remove tmp files in ''.../page''
- backup only the diff of all the revisons

What really happens during you delete a page **

when you click ''action->delete this page'', what is done is actually

adding(rather then removing) a newer version in ''edit-log'', and ''current'' is update to this version
special things about this version are:
- no corresponding page for it in ''revisions/'', therefore on the web page shows a grey link, like the page does not exist at all
- when you create again this page, which means you have another un-empty version of top of this version, it is marked ''SAVENEW'', rather then usual ''SAVE''
if you go to ""Recent Changes"" and check the revision history, you have all the older versions(before you do the page deletion) available
