Attempting to set up a wiki on a different system with a different version of `cvs`, I've encountered a new locking problem within CVS: `cvs commit` takes a write lock, post-commit ikiwiki calls `rcs_update()`, `cvs update` wants a read lock and blocks. The easiest fix I can think of is to make `cvs commit` return and relinquish its lock -- so instead of my wrapper script `exec`ing ikiwiki's post-commit hook, I amp it off and exit 0. Seems to do the trick and, if I grok ikiwiki's behavior here, is not dangerous. (Beats me why my development `cvs` doesn't behave the same WRT locking.) + +>>> I was all set to take your third suggestion, but now that there's more than one CVS oddity fixed trivially in a wrapper script, I think I prefer doing it that way. + +>>> I'd be glad for the CVS plugin to be included in ikiwiki, if and when you deem it ready. Please let me know what needs to be done for that to happen. --[[Schmonz]] |
