I don't understand that. The new Daisy Runtime is for starting up the
repository, isn't it? And  DSY-431 deals with starting up the wiki,
whereby startup of the wiki should be delayed until the repository
actually is up. If we have two independent wrapper scripts for
starting up the repository and the wiki (and that's what we have at
the moment), the way I see to implement that is that the wiki startup
script checks whether the repository is already up (by port pinging,
by trying to establish a connection to it or by other means). This is
what my patch is about. Are there other solutions I don't see?
