Item10581: location of rsrc directory has changed and is not being reflected in the rewritten html

Version 2.20.

Under earlier versions of the plugin a rsrc directory was written into the directory for each web. For example, here's what the layout looked like relative to $Foswiki::cfg{PublishPlugin}{Dir}

Web1
Web1/rsrc
Web2
Web2/rsrc

The links to the contents of the rsrc directory were rewritten in the HTML as a relative URL, e.g.

@import url('rsrc/System/SkinTemplates/base.css'

Version 2.20 has collapsed the multiple rsrc directories into one, so that they are now

rsrc
Web1
Web2

The links are still written assuming the old directory layout (as rsrc rather than as e.g. ../rsrc) and thus are failing. Published subwebs (which don't work in 2.20 for other reasons, another bug report is forthcoming) are even more estranged from the rsrc directory.

On a different note, while collapsing the rsrc directories into one will save space, it makes it difficult to create a top-level site based on a single web. For example, in one current configuration, I have a web whose published version is exposed directly at the top level of the site (e.g., http::/my.site.org/ maps onto Web1 in the above example). If the rsrc directory is at the same level as Web1 it's effectively outside of the Apache DocumentRoot.

On this site I don't have the authority to configure the server to alias the rsrc URL appropriately; I can only drop files into the directory I'm given, which is at the top level. The new behavior breaks this configuration.

I've attached a draft patch which fixes up most of the behavior by rewriting the paths to the resources relative to the top level rsrc directory. I don't think it's a complete solution.

patch modified to ensure that the path to a resource is modified only once.

I've settled on another approach: adding a rsrcdir option which allows the user to specify its location relative to the top of the site; this allows one to locate it within one of the output web directories to get a self contained directory. E.g., if I'm publishing Public, setting rsrcdir to Public/rsrc creates it as a subdirectory of the output Public directory.

patch attached

A think I understand what you are doing, but the patch is against an old codebase and i can't work out how to merge it. Can you either check in the fix, or give me a patch against the latest code? Thanks. crap, I worked it out. My bad.
