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`.
|
|
|
|
### To do
|
|
* Expand test coverage and fix bugs.
|
|
* Have `ikiwiki-makerepo` set up NetBSD-like `log_accum` and
|
|
`commit_prep` scripts that coalesce commits into changesets. Reasons:
|
|
7. Obviates the need to scrape the repo's complete history to
|
|
determine the last N changesets. (Repositories without such
|
|
records can fall back on the `cvsps` and `File::ReadBackwards`
|
|
code.)
|
|
7. Arranges for ikiwiki to be run once per changeset, rather
|
|
than CVS's once per committed file (!), which is a waste at
|
|
best and bug-inducing at worst. (Currently, on multi-directory
|
|
commits, only the first directory's changes get mentioned
|
|
in [[recentchanges|plugins/recentchanges]].)
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* Do a writeup for [[rcs/details]].
