%begin sh% mkdir viewcvs cd viewcvs wget http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs-0.9.2.tar.gz # Main package whereis rcs # Ensure that RCS is installed. diff -v # Ensure that we are using GNU diff (by, Oh my Goodness, among others, Paul Eggert. Christ!) wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/enscript/enscript-1.6.1.tar.gz # Get Enscript - the code colorize, must use 1.61 or below. wget http://www.akhphd.au.dk/~bertho/cvsgraph/release/cvsgraph-1.5.1.tar.gz # get CVSgraph to create development trees. wget http://www.akhphd.au.dk/~bertho/cvsgraph/viewcvs-0.9.2-cvsgraph-1.4.0.diff.gz # get CVSgraph diff to ViewCVS^? to enable advanced features not yet implemented in ViewCVS^?

# Installing Enscript with local install (since it isn't likely that we have write to /usr/bin) tar -zxvf enscript-1.6.1.tar.gz cd enscript-1.6.1 echo ~ # change prefix to the value of ~ (don't use ~, it seems bad things happen) ./configure --prefix=/home/rizwank # Running configure, planning to place files in ~/bin, etc. make make install # check for errors ~/bin/enscript # should give an lpr and broken pipe error cd .. rm -fr enscript-1.6.1*

# Repeating for CVSgraph tar -zxvf cvsgraph-1.5.1.tar.gz cd cvsgraph-1.5.1 ./configure --prefix=/home/rizwank make cp cvsgraph ~/bin rm -fr cvsgraph-1.5.1*

# now setup the viewcvs scripts WITH the appropriate diffs for CVSgraph # ripped from http://www.akhphd.au.dk/~bertho/cvsgraph/ tar -zxvf viewcvs-0.9.2.tar.gz cd viewcvs-0.9.2 zcat ../viewcvs-0.9.2-cvsgraph-1.4.0.diff.gz | patch -p0 ./viewcvs-install # select install path carefully. # It really should be in your webspace unless you plan to symlink it into your cgi-bin # Obv it should be in someplace you are permitted to write. # /home/rizwank/public_html/cvs for me cd .. rm -fr viewcvs-0.9.2* cd /home/rizwank/public_html/cvs # go to the new cvsview dir # modify the following lines # TODO : replace these with sed instead of manual vi viewcvs.conf #Development : /home/cvsroot ==> Repository Name : Actual CVS path #default_root = Development ==> Change Development to Repository chosen above) #address = No CVS admin address has been configured # configure address #enscript_path = insert enscript path #allow_tar = 0 ==> 1 #use_enscript = 0 ==> 1 #use_cvsgraph = 0 ==> 1 #cvsgraph_path = <= insert cvsgraph path # put something like Redirect /cvs http://www.geekymedia.com/viewcvs/cgi/viewcvs.cgi # in .htaccess for the root, therefore path/cvs redirects to the cgi. %end%

Enscript 1.63 works fine as well, if you apply the following patch: %begin diff% diff viewcvs.old viewcvs.py 481c481 < '--color', '-W', 'html', '-E' + lang, '-o',

---

> '--color', '--language=html', '-E' + lang, '-o',
