Question

If you install twiki on a system without rcs installed, it doesn't give any error and doesn't create ,v files. I intended to use RcsLite, but never made config change.

Two possible options - check if the 'ci' path exists if not set to use rcslite. If not, either error or fall back to using rcslite. Probably should check on "Edit", not on "Preview Changes".

This causes a related issue MissingRcsFileHangsRdiff.

• TWiki version: latest cvs
• Web server: apache 1.3.2x
• Server OS: redhat 7.1
• Web browser: mozilla current
• Client OS: redhat 7.3

Answer

The latest testenv does check for RCS, and I think the Dec 2001 testenv did as well. This is preferable to checking during normal usage.
