I am using mercurial as RCS backend and ikiwiki 2.40.
It seems that, when adding a blog post, it is not immediately commited to the mercurial repo. I have a page with this directive:
\[[!inline pages="journal/blog2008/* and !*/Discussion" show="0" feeds="no" actions="yes" rootpage="journal/blog2008"]]
When I add a blog post, I see it on the wiki but it doesn't appear on History or RecentChanges. If I run hg status on the wiki source dir, I see the new file has been marked as A (ie, a new file that has not been commited).
If I then edit the blog post, then the file gets commited and I can see the edit on History and RecentChanges. The creation of the file remains unrecorded. --[[buo]]
Ikiwiki calls rcs_add() if the page is new, followed by rcs_commit().
For mercurial, these run respectively hg add and hg commit. If the
add or commit fails, it will print a warning to stderr, you might check
apache's error.log to see if there's anything there. --[[Joey]]
The problem was using accented characters (é, í) on the change comments. I didn't have
an UTF-8 locale enabled in my setup file. By coincidence this happened for the first time
in a couple of consecutive blog posts, so I was mistaken about the root of the problem. I don't know if
you will consider this behavior a bug, since it's strictly speaking a misconfiguration but it
still causes ikiwiki's mercurial backend to fail. A quick note in the docs might be a good idea. For my part, please
close this bug, and thanks for the help. --[[buo]]
So, in a non-utf8 locale, mercurial fails to commit if the commit
message contains utf8? --[[Joey]]
