Save to file

Hi,

I would like to make Pier Book save everything to files (one per
chapter for example) so that I can use a DVCS to version control the
book and allow authors to write with their preferred text editors if
they want to.

What is already there? What needs to be done?

Thank you

You could use the following script from a cron job. The only thing
missing is the commit to your version control system:

#!/bin/sh

# properties
BASE="http://book.seaside.st/book"
URL="$BASE?view=BOZipView"

# fetch latex
echo "Downloading LaTeX ..."
curl --silent --output "archive.zip" "$URL"
unzip -u -d latex -o archive.zip
rm -f archive.zip

# get wiki stuff
echo "Downloading Wiki ..."
rm -rf wiki
for FILE in `grep '% /book/' latex/book.tex | sed 's/% \/book\/\(.*\)/\1/'` ; do
   mkdir -p "wiki/`dirname $FILE`"
   curl --silent --output "wiki/$FILE.txt" "$BASE/$FILE?view=PRWikiView"
done

thank you for the script. But this is 1-way only. Changes made by
authors on git won't be reflected on Pier Book as far as I can tell.
