Snippets

Installation

These snippets install MoinMoin in /tmp, replace the destination to your desired location.

initialize Python environment:

virtualenv2 \
        --python /usr/bin/python2.7 \
        --no-site-packages \
        -- /tmp/moinmoin/1.9.8--1

install pip (if needed):

/tmp/moinmoin/1.9.8--1/bin/pip install -- pip

install moinmoin:

/tmp/moinmoin/1.9.8--1/bin/pip install -- moin==1.9.8

install docutils:

/tmp/moinmoin/1.9.8--1/bin/pip install -- docutils==0.11

Cleanup

All these commands assume that you are running them within the root folder of the wiki deployment. (I.e. that folder that contains the sub-folders pages, plugin, user, etc.)

find all empty edit-log files belonging to "dangling" pages, and remove them:

find ./pages -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type f -name 'edit-log' -empty -print # -delete

find all empty attachments folders belonging to pages:

find ./pages -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d -name 'attachments' -empty -print # -delete

find all edit-lock files belonging to pages:

find ./pages -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type f \( -name 'edit-lock' -o -name 'current-locked' \) -print # -delete

find all cache folders belonging to pages, and delete them:

find ./pages -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d -name 'cache' -prune -print # -exec rm -R -- {} \;

find all empty folders belonging to the "dangling" pages, and remove them:
- ```
find ./pages -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty -print # -delete
```

find all attachments created by the LaTeX plugin:

find ./pages -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -type f -path '*/attachments/*' -name 'latex_*_p*.png' -print # -delete

Patches

Disable implicit camel-case page links

This patch forces the parser to ignore camel-case words (for example CamelCase), and not transform them into page links. (Thus the user is forced to use [[CamelCase]] for page links.)

Increase restructured-text includes limit

Increasing this limit might allow an user (which already has write acess to your wiki) to use many include directives, thus leading to increased server load.
