I like the idea of [[tips/integrated_issue_tracking_with_ikiwiki]], and I do so on several wikis. However, as far as I can tell, ikiwiki has no functionality which can represent dependencies between bugs and allow pagespecs to select based on dependencies. For instance, I can't write a pagespec which selects all bugs with no dependencies on bugs not marked as done. --[[JoshTriplett]]

-Immediately below is a patch for IkiWiki.pm. Below that is a new plugin `definepagespec `
-which behaves like `shortcut` for pagespecs.
+Immediately below is a patch which seems to basically work. Lots of debugging code is still there
