Correct packaging of mirrored online wikis
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello,
My package containing a copy of an online wiki (en.cppreference.com)
got rejected by an FTP master. In the reject message, among other
problems, I've been pointed out that the HTML pages obtained by
website mirror programs are not the 'source' of the wiki, i.e. they're
not preferred form of modification.
How solve this problem correctly? In my case, the wiki runs on
MediaWiki engine which allows to retrieve the wikicode of all pages as
an XML file. It's the nearest thing to the 'preferred form of
modification' I can think of -- the file can be imported to another
wiki, which would then effectively become a copy of cppreference.com.
I don't however think that rendering wikicode to HTML is feasible
during build time -- it will take at least several hours of CPU time.
Would it be enough to simply complement the HTML pages in the source
package with the XML file containing wikicode these pages were
generated from? Are there any other possible solutions?
Cheers,
Povilas
