+spammers have figured that little trick out so I am consitently getting spammed checked into my git repository.
+
+I'm not really sure if this patch introduced other problems, but it seems to have fixed my site:

+If libdir is configured to be ~/.ikiwiki in your ikiwiki.settings file, and you are running Debian, you can do the following:
+
+		mkdir -p ~/.ikiwiki/IkiWiki/Plugin
+		cp /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Plugin/opendiscussion.pm ~/.ikiwiki/IkiWiki/Plugin/
+
+And then apply the patch above to ~/.ikiwiki/Ikiwiki/Plugin/opendiscussion.pm.
