This plugin allows ikiwiki to use [[!wikipedia desc="CVS" Concurrent Versions System]] as an [[rcs]].
### Usage
-7. Install [cvsps](http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/), [[!cpan
-File::ReadBackwards]], and
+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.
* 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` doesn't do the trick.)
* 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.
