Josiah Bryan has posted details of a cron job he is running to update the wiki with the doc files:
Hey All -
Per a discussion earlier, I've setup a small cron job on one of my servers that automatically updates voip-info.org wiki with the latest and greatest Asterisk Documentation, straight from svn (specifically, the /branches/$version/doc folder for each version.) The files are located under 'Asterisk Documentation' on voip-info.org:
Link to the index page
It currently polls the following Asterisk branches from subversion:Let me know what you think. If anyone has any questions or comments, please do let me know. Oh, and many thanks to James Thompson of voip-info.org for his quick response to my questions about an API for updating pages. His help was invaluable.
Technical Specifics about the Cron Job:
The cron job runs daily (about 4am EST) and does an 'svn update' for each version's 'doc' folder. If there are any changes, the job uploads ONLY the 'text/plain' files in the folder to the wiki (prefixing the pages with 'Asterisk Documentation '+$version+' '+$filename, so /branches/1.6.1/doc/callfiles.txt becomes 'Asterisk Documentation 1.6.1 callfiles.txt'
Note that right now, the files are just passed straight to the wiki and quoted in a '~pp~' block (essentially, a <pre> block) - formatting can be applied later if requested - and if presented with a reliable formatting algorithm.
Let me know what you all think. Cheers!
