 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 IPC::Cmd]], [[!cpan String::ShellQuote]], and [cvsweb](http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html) or the like.

 7. Adjust CVS-related parameters in your setup file.

 ### Implementation details
 * `cvs.pm` started life as a copy of [[3.14159|news/version_3.14159]]'s `svn.pm`.
-* `IkiWiki.pm:wiki_file_prune_regexps` avoids copying CVS metadata into `$DESTDIR`.

 * 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.)
-* 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.
 * 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.
