1 Joey, please see RecentChanges and note that this is my second bug report,
2 because the first was unsuccessfully (bad characters in post title?).
3 Could you please tidy it up?
5 > I've fixed that and the bug that caused the dup.
9 I've just upgraded my ikiwiki from version 2.11 to the latest version 2.15.
10 I use my own rebuilt ikiwiki package for Ubuntu Gutsy box. Now I can't rebuild
11 all my ikiwiki pages, because of the following bug:
13 ptecza@anahaim:~/blog$ ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup --getctime --verbose
15 scanning post/2007/12/09/pink-freud-w-cafe-kulturalna.mdwn
16 ikiwiki.setup: Insecure dependency in mkdir while running with -T switch at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki.pm line 355.
17 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 151.
19 I have a write permission to the ikiwiki destination directory:
21 ptecza@anahaim:~/blog$ ls -ld /var/www/blog/
22 drwxr-xr-x 2 ptecza ptecza 4096 2007-12-17 10:48 /var/www/blog/
24 I've read ikiwiki changelog for the previous releases and unfortunately
25 I can't see any related entries. Any ideas?
29 > **Update**: I've came back to ikiwiki 2.11 and... the bug still exists!

33 > I can't reproduce this bug with a setup file that tells ikiwiki to

35 > since I can't write to /var/www. If I make the permissions allow me to

44 >> Thanks for your efforts, Joey! I sent my `ikiwiki.setup` file to you.
45 >> What source do you need? Entire my ikiwiki or only some pages?
47 >> There are settings of `/var/www/` directory on my Ubuntu Gutsy box:
49 >> ptecza@anahaim:~$ ls -al /var/www/
51 >> drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2007-11-06 16:25 .
52 >> drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2007-11-06 16:13 ..
53 >> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-11-06 16:13 apache2-default
54 >> drwxr-xr-x 5 ptecza ptecza 4096 2007-12-17 16:54 blog
58 >> I need a set of files that you know I can use to reproduce the bug.
61 >>> OK, I've just sent you the URL where you can find all files you need :)
63 >>> Probably I know how to reproduce the bug. You have to erase all files from
64 >>> `/var/www/blog` before mass rebuilding. This is my `mass-rebuild.sh` script:
68 >>> rm -rf /var/www/blog/*
69 >>> ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup --getctime --verbose
71 >>> I noticed that the bug was "resolved" when I added to my blog new entry
72 >>> and commited the changes. Before I created all directories and touched
73 >>> empty `*.html` files in `/var/www/blog` directory. Probably it's not
74 >>> necessary, because without a new blog revision the bug still existed
75 >>> and `ikiwiki` still failed.
77 >>> --[[Paweł|ptecza]]
79 >> I'd forgotten about [this perl bug](http://bugs.debian.org/411786).
80 >> All I can do is work around it by disabling the taint checking. :-(
81 >> (Which I've [[done]].) --[[Joey]]
83 >>> Ubuntu Gutsy also has Perl 5.8.8-7, so probably it has the bug too.
84 >>> --[[Paweł|ptecza]]
86 >>>> I just got it while building my latest version of git.ikiwiki.info + my stuff.
87 >>>> Only thing different in my version in IkiWiki.pm is that I moved a </a> over

91 >>>> Simon, I'm not clear what version of ikiwiki you're using.

96 >>>> Hi, nope not doing this. Um, sorry, v. 3.13. I've no idea why it suddenly started doing this.

103 >>>> I figured it *might* be the `umask`, but I'll see in a few when / if it gets past that in the build. No; I keep getting garbage during the brokenlinks test
