Hi Tyler,
thanks for the link, and for making your code accessible.
Isn't http://www.merten-home.de/FreeSoftware/remoteMoin
more what I want !?
I have to admit that  I don't fully see the difference between
moinupdate and remoteMoin.
Comment: your section "PREREQUISITES"
(http://www.merten-home.de/FreeSoftware/moinupdate/manual.html)  is
written more like a list of "what cannot do" - rather than "what you
need run moinupdate at all"...
where does one get this remoteMoin plugin from ?
Comment2: otherwise super well documented by the way !! congratulations.



I just came accross the page of Anders Eurenius.
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/AndersEurenius
He has a seemingly minimal yet powerful tool. He calls it:
wikiup.py
Does anyone here know if that works !?
(The help string does seem "well maintained" - e.g. it says:
"-n,--dry-run actually do the updates" ;-) )

Final question: are
action=xmlrpc
and
action=xmlrpc2
part of a default MoinMoin ver. 1.5  installation ?
(I am so far using the DesktopEdition - but consider switching...)


Thanks for all the hints,
Sebastian
