hardcodedates is a PyBlosxom plugin that overrides Pyblosxom’s default mtime handling to read mtimes from a file, instead of from the filesystem.

This has a number of benefits. Similar to other plugins, it allows you to manually specify each entry’s mtime. The mtimes are stored in a single file, so PyBlosxom doesn’t need to stat every entry. Finally, it adds mtimes for new entries, to preserve their original mtime and to avoid stat calls.

hardcodedates was originally written by Nathan Bullock. I’ve taken over maintennance, with his permission.
