This plugin allows ikiwiki to use [[!wikipedia desc="CVS" Concurrent Versions System]] as an [[rcs]].
### Installation and usage
7. Apply patches to [`IkiWiki.pm`](http://www.netbsd.org/~schmonz/ikiwiki-cvs/cvs-IkiWiki.pm.diff)
and [`ikiwiki-makerepo`](http://www.netbsd.org/~schmonz/ikiwiki-cvs/cvs-ikiwiki-makerepo.diff).
7. Rebuild and install ikiwiki.
### Usage
7. Install [cvsps](http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/), [[!cpan IPC::Cmd]], [[!cpan String::ShellQuote]], and [cvsweb](http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html) or the like.
7. Download [`cvs.pm`](http://www.netbsd.org/~schmonz/ikiwiki-cvs/cvs.pm) into a suitable `$libdir/IkiWiki/Plugin`.
7. While setting up a wiki [[by hand|setup/byhand]], also specify `--libdir` until you get to the point where you have a setup file. (This ensures the CVS plugin is found and its settings stanza included.)
7. Adjust CVS-related parameters in your setup file.
Consider creating `$HOME/.cvsrc` if you don't have one already; the plugin doesn't need it, but you yourself might. Here's a good general-purpose one:

* CVS multi-directory commits happen separately; the post-commit hook sees only the first directory's changes in time for [[recentchanges|plugins/recentchanges]]. The next run of `ikiwiki --setup` will correctly re-render such a recentchanges entry. It should be possible to solve this problem with NetBSD's `commit_prep` and `log_accum` scripts (see below).
### To do
* Add automated tests. ([Blindly adding svn-like tests to `t/file_pruned.t`](http://www.netbsd.org/~schmonz/ikiwiki-cvs/cvs-t-file_pruned.t.diff) doesn't do the trick.)
* Add automated tests. (Blindly adding svn-like tests to `t/file_pruned.t` doesn't do the trick.)
* If the argument to `cvs add` smells like a binary file, `cvs add -kb` it (for [[plugins/attachment]] support).
* Don't slurp the entire `cvsps` output into memory (!).
* Instead of resource-intensively scraping changesets with `cvsps`, have `ikiwiki-makerepo` set up NetBSD-like `log_accum` and `commit_prep` scripts that coalesce and keep records of commits. `cvsps` can be used as a fallback for repositories without such records.
