I'm using the aggregate plugin (which is wonderful, thanks!) at this URL http://adam.shand.net/blog/planet/

When I run ikiwiki with "--aggregate" I get this error:

ronin(adam)$ /usr/bin/ikiwiki --setup ~adam/.ikiwiki/asni.setup --aggregategate

Fixed, this occurred when a feed did not include any body content tag. --[[Joey]]

Also, feeds from DokuWiki seem to crash the aggregate plugin completely, it's not a completely valid feed but presumably crashing is still bad. The feed I'm seeing this with is http://www.wirelesscommons.org/feed.php

This is a bug in XML::Parser. Unfortunately, perl does not have a feed parser that handles invalid feeds, and in particular, XML::Parser has issues with feeds that claim to be encoded in utf-8 and contain invalid utf sequences, as well as other encoding issues. See also [[!debbug 380426]]. Note though that this invalid feed does not really crash the aggregate plugin, it just notes that XML::Parser crashed on it and continues. This is the best I can do in ikiwiki. I have filed a bug on XML::Parser about this, it's [[!debbug 420636]]. I've also put in a workaround, so [[done]].

Wonderful, thanks Joey! -- Adam.
