Introduction

This file contains a list of issues for the svnwiki installation for FSFLA that we have already solved.

See error-reports for the list of open issues.

Must check for conflicts on web-based check ins

If two or more users start editing overlapping chunks of a file at the same time, whoever commits his changes last, over the web interface, overwrites others' changes.

This can get worse for anonymous ====== sections for translations. If such sections are added or removed by someone else, a user who started editing such an anonymous section on the wiki interface may end up overwriting an unrelated section.

Saving the revision number in the edit request, and submitting it to the server along with the changes, would enable the server to do something sensible, such as attempting an automated merge and/or reporting conflicts. We must not silently discard changes like this.

This should be fixed now, it was a bug.

Can't break lines in long bulleted or numbered paragraphs

• This was intended to be a single paragraph, in spite of the line break.
• Same goes for this one

– lxoliva

It seems to be fixed now.

A NAME support still partial

A NAME tags work (by accident?) in section titles, but not elsewhere. Is this by design?

– lxoliva

It should now work everywhere.

E-mail addresses in section titles disappear

Section titles appear to be special in how < and > are handled, so angle brackets in e-mail addresses don't get translated to HTML.

– lxoliva

Should be working now. That was a bug.

Old files left behind after svn rename/remove

If a file is renamed or removed, the old contents are left behind and accessible in the WWW tree.

– lxoliva

Should be fixed now.

Document editing not working

Apparently I broke document editing somehow, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Help? –lxoliva

/tmp was nearly full, so the cgi engine couldn't check out a copy of the repository. –lxoliva, Mon Jan 29 at about 2 AM

No icons in toolbar buttons

The toolbar buttons in the edit page are all blank, on Firefox 1.5.0.9-1.fc6.x86_64. Anyone else observing this?

– lxoliva

Solved, had to tweak the CSS.

center and h tags don't work

I couldn't get center, h1 or h2 to work. I intended to use them for title and authors' names.

– someone

They seem to work now. I suppose they didn't work because the extensions were gone when the hard disk crashed.

Boldface in section titles breaks web edits

Clicking on the Edit button above opens up an empty window.

– someone

Yes, this was caused by a bug in the html-stream macro, which was solved some time ago. However, we hadn't actually rebuilt all the files in Svnwiki's installation in FSFLA, so some of the .o files still had the bug from the macro. We just rebuilt everything and it seems the bug did go away.

Index missing for weblog archive dirs

anuncio, circular, faq, info, legis and texto, but the generated index.html is empty and single-language. Should we perhaps maintain them by hand?

– someone

Well, now we generate index.$lang.html for every language for which there is at least one file in the corresponding directory.

"No translations" doesn't look good

See texto/draft/denuncia-irpf.pt, for example. It says:

 
English

Looks like we were just missing regenerating that file after the switch to UTF-8.
