Having implemented CVS support, we need a test wiki instance in order to evaluate its merits.

spz provided a running system suitable for testing, on which the following was done:

• installed the necessary pkgsrc bits:
• www/apache22
• www/ikiwiki (with the ikiwiki-search option and CVS-related LOCALPATCHES)
• www/cvsweb
• devel/cvsps
• created a wiki user
• created ~/etc/htpasswd
• created ~/etc/apache.conf (restricting web editing to valid users in ~/etc/htpasswd) and included it from the system's httpd.conf
• made a copy of cvsweb into ~/cgi/cvsweb and pointed it at ~/etc/cvsweb.conf
• placed the CVS plugin (not yet included in ikiwiki) in ~/perl/IkiWiki/Plugin/cvs.pm
• created ~/src and ~/html directories
• ran ikiwiki-makerepo cvs ~/src ~/cvsroot to import ~/src into a new repository and configure the ikiwiki post-commit hook
• ran ikiwiki ~/src ~/html --libdir ~/perl --url=http://testwiki.ipv6.de --dumpsetup ~/etc/ikiwiki.conf to create a config file
• tweaked ~/wiki/etc/ikiwiki.conf considerably (for exact changes, diff -u ~/etc/ikiwiki.conf{.default,}):
• added useful plugins, including the CVS plugin
• disabled Discussion subpages
• enabled userdir
• enabled RSS/Atom feed generation
• locked the included ikiwiki documentation against web editing
• ran ikiwiki --setup ~/etc/ikiwiki.conf to generate pages and the CGI and post-commit wrappers
• copied cvsweb.css, the NetBSD.org favicon.ico, and a downloaded stylesheet into ~/src, cvs added them (with -kb for the icon) and cvs commited to test that the post-commit hook regenerates the site
• started Apache
• added a cron job for ikiwiki's feed aggregator
