  • Has bugs updating things if the bestlink of a page changes due to adding/removing a page. For example, if Foo/Bar links to "Baz", which is Foo/Baz, and Foo/Bar/Baz gets added, it will update the links in Foo/Bar to point to it, but will forget to update the linkbacks in Foo/Baz. And if Foo/Bar/Baz is then removed, it forgets to update Foo/Bar to link back to Foo/Baz.

    -- is this still true?

  • If I try to do a web commit, to a svn+ssh repo, it fails with "Host key verification failed." I think that the setuid isn't fully taking; it should be running as me, but commit log shows www-data. So maybe it has the wrong username? Or EUID/Real UID screwage.

  • Can't put the source in a directory named .source; the page finder skips that due to too broad exclusion of any dotfile in a path.

  • RecentChanges is a regular page, perhaps it should be automatically replaced with a link to the [[CGI]]?

  • [[ikiwiki]] should go to the same place as [[index]] (on this wiki).

  • Web browsers don't word-wrap lines in submitted text, which makes editing a page that someone wrote in a web browser annoying (gqip is vim user's friend here). Is there any way to improve this?

  • The diff links in RecentChanges go to a viewcvs backtrace if the rev in question is when the page was added. Is this a viewcvs bug, or a behavior ikiwiki needs to work around?

    • As a special case, there should certianly be no history link for pages generated from the underlaydir as it can never work for them.
  • If a page stops inlining anthing, its rss feed file will linger around and not be deleted.

  • Currently only one blog is supported per page. Attempts to add more will make it only update one of the blogs on the page.

  • RSS output contains relative links. Ie. http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/index.rss contains a link to http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/../blog.html

  • If a file in the srcdir is removed, exposing a file in the underlaydir, ikiwiki will not notice the change and rebuild it until the file in the underlaydir gets a mtime newer than the mtime the removed file had.

  • ikiwiki will generate html formatted error messages to the command line if --cgi is set, even if it's not yet running as a cgi

  • if a page containing an rss feed happens to show up in an rss feed, the preprocessor directives won't be expanded (good) but are left in raw rather than removed (bad)
