Subject: ikiwiki: allow dropping the generator tag and or its version= attribute from atom feeds

Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 11:36:00 +0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: ikiwiki
Version: 3.20120202
Severity: wishlist

I store the static HTML output of ikiwiki for my website and blog in git
so that I can detect changes in the output that might not be desirable.
Every time I upgrade ikiwiki and rebuild my HTML, all of the atom feeds
have changed because ikiwiki hardcodes the version number in the
template. I find it a bit annoying to have to commit this before I start
a new blog post so I would like to remove it. According to RFC 4287[1],
both the generator tag itself and the version attribute are optional. I
have prepared the attached patch to allow these to be disabled.

This feels like strictly unncessary configuration, unless you're trying
hard to hide the fact that you're using ikiwiki.

> +		description => "advertise which version of ikiwiki was used to generate pages?",

This feels like unncessary and confusing configuration. 99.999% of users
will look at this in the setup and wonder why they would want to enable
it.

It seems reasonable to just leave the version out, on the grounds that
it's unlikely to be useful information and that repeatable builds are a
nice feature to have when easily possible.

Want to respin the patch?
