How do you paginate category pages?

[albedoa]

This question has popped up a few times, but it goes ignored. Has
anyone accomplished this yet?

Some have suggested paginating the whole site, then conditionally
checking for the category in each post before displaying it. This
doesn't work because Jekyll reserves N posts per page, regardless of
whether the category matches. (So if you have N=20 posts per page, and
none of the 20 posts on a page match the category, then a blank page
is generated.)

I'm very interested to hear what others have tried and whether they
were successful.

I have had the same issue and would love an answer to this.

A friend did this for me. His fork is at https://github.com/danreedy/jekyll

Just generate your site with ../path/to/bin/jekyll --paginate ## with
whatever pagination could you want.

As of now, I'm working on pagination within a category and moving the
--paginate XX option from the command to the YAML, but I'm just
getting started with Ruby, so it might be awhile :)

I've done this on my site (http://www.marran.com). Take a look at
https://github.com/pelosi/marran.com. The plugin is
generate_category_pages.rb. Feel free to ask me questions.

And I put up a web page to walk through the code:

Why the generator puts older posts first?

Well, this isn't correct. The generator works fine for 4 categories on my blog, but with two, it has problems. The first one is a ``GNU/Linux"[1] category (yeah, I don't want RMS to visit my mailbox), where the two posts are in reverse order, while the ``WordPress"[2] category is a total mess. It goes for a random order. WTF?
