The [[RecentChanges]] page is broken (doesn't show any history at all) when used with an empty svnpath in the ikiwiki.setup file. Say you have the following configuration: rcs => "svn", svnrepo => "ssh+svn://foo.bar.com/wiki", svnpath => "", In the above, $svnpath need to be either empty or "/" - both trigger the 'next unless' check in IkiWiki/Rcs/svn.pm:rcs_recentchanges() as shown in the patch below, thus causing all files to be ignored for [[RecentChanges]]. I can not see why this check is needed in the first place, so here's a patch for removing it :) diff -upr ikiwiki-1.49.orig/IkiWiki/Rcs/svn.pm ikiwiki-1.49/IkiWiki/Rcs/svn.pm --- ikiwiki-1.49.orig/IkiWiki/Rcs/svn.pm Mon Apr 16 15:15:09 2007 +++ ikiwiki-1.49/IkiWiki/Rcs/svn.pm Mon Apr 16 15:15:47 2007 @@ -176,7 +176,6 @@ sub rcs_recentchanges ($) { #{{{ } foreach (keys %{$logentry->{paths}}) { - next unless /^\/\Q$config{svnpath}\E\/([^ ]+)(?:$|\s)/; my $file=$1; my $diffurl=$config{diffurl}; $diffurl=~s/\[\[file\]\]/$file/g;
