If you really need to, you can use [[!wikipedia desc="CVS" Concurrent Versions System]]
|
|
with ikiwiki.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
7. Install [[!cpan File::chdir]], [[!cpan File::ReadBackwards]],
|
|
[cvsps](http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/), and
|
|
[cvsweb](http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html) or the like.
|
|
7. Adjust CVS-related parameters in your setup file.
|
|
|
|
Consider creating `$HOME/.cvsrc` if you don't have one already; the plugin doesn't need it, but you yourself might. Here's a good general-purpose one:
|
|
|
|
cvs -q
|
|
checkout -P
|
|
update -dP
|
|
diff -u
|
|
rdiff -u
|
|
|
|
### Implementation details
|
|
* [[ikiwiki-makerepo]]:
|
|
* creates a repository,
|
|
* imports `$SRCDIR` into top-level module `ikiwiki` (vendor tag IKIWIKI, release tag PRE_CVS),
|
|
* configures the post-commit hook in `CVSROOT/loginfo`.
|
|
* 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
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* Perhaps prevent web edits from attempting to create `.../CVS/foo.mdwn` (and `.../cvs/foo.mdwn` on case-insensitive filesystems); thanks to the CVS metadata directory, the attempt will fail anyway (and much more confusingly) if we don't.
