Question

• TWiki version: : TWikiBetaRelease 30 Dec 2002
• Perl version: 5.6.1
• Web server & version: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux)
• Server OS: RedHat Linux 8.0
• Web browser & version:
• Client OS:

RCS is working just fine, but twiki doesn't know that. The version number for any topic I edit stays at r1.1 unless I change the META:TOPICINFO{... version= } to the right version.

The WebHome.txt file is on revision 1.15 according to WebHome.txt,v (RCS). When I save changes to WebHome.txt the far right entry in the .changes file is still "1" even long after the lock has expired.

.changes:
----
WebHome MattVargas     1043562504      1   (the lock has had time to expire in each case)
WebHome MattVargas     1043618708      1
WebHome MattVargas     1043619732      1
WebHome MattVargas     1043621178      1
----

Twiki knows the revision based on the version entry in META:TOPICINFO{ }. How does this get set in the first place? I have tried setting it manually to r1.19 to match RCS only to have twiki revert back to r1.1 after I save.

Evidently RCS wasn't completely working. This twiki is installed on a virtual server. RCS wasn't installed so initially I copied ci, co, and rcs to an accessible directory. Now that I have also copied ident, merge, rcsclean, rcsdiff, rlog and rcsmerge versioning works. Now the entries in the .changes file are incremented and META:TOPICINFO{ ... } has the right version.

Now only diff is broken. I get a bunch of lines like this:

with only one diff of r1.1 color coded in green.

I really have a diff problem. See DiffProblem to see how it looks. I'm sure someone has had this problem before.
