I've made a new release of the chronicle blog compiler.
There are a couple of minor changes to the variables exported to the theme templates, as contributed by MJ Ray, and a new spooling system.
This works in a simple fashion, and allows you to queue up posts. For example If you write a new entry containing the psuedo-header "Publish: 20th April 2008" and you have a crontab entry containing this:
chronicle-spooler
--spool-dir=~/blog/spool/ \
--live-dir=~/blog/data/ \
--post-move='cd ~/blog && make upload'
It works as expected. When you call this on the 20th April the file will be moved from ~/blog/spool into ~/blog/data, and your blog will be rebuilt & uploaded.
The implementation was different than the original suggestion, but is nice and clean, and can be used to do other things with a little bit of effort.
Anyway if you see this entry the spooling system is working!
