Exported projects

From projects

Our goal is to make tar bundles exported by the Export project feature run with make out-of-the-box on a variety of configurations.

The exported bundle comes with a complete copy of the wiki's resources directory in .workingwiki/resources/, and a special makefile (in .workingwiki/makefile) to emulate the behavior of make in WorkingWiki, by including the default rules in the resources makefiles.

You should be able to make files in your copy of the directory by using make -f ../.workingwiki/makefile <targetname> (you might want to make an alias for that), or by creating your own makefile or Makefile in the main directory so you can just use make, and add additional local customizations.

Local Issues

The theobio (lalashan) R rules use rename, which works differently on different boxes. We should call rename through a variable, which users could redefine (people might still need to install a theobio-style rename to get the desired functionality).

The export package doesn't work with Special:ImportProject any more, because it is structured to include multiple project directories.
