DESTDIR path (generally only used by package maintainers) []:

3. Configure (viewvc. conf)

Vi/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.2/viewvc. conf

For simple configuration, you only need to change root_parents.
Enable_syntax_coloration = 1 # syntax highlighting
Allowed_views = annotate, diff, markup, roots, co, tar # allowed views

Edit /Viewvc. conf for your specific
Configuration. In particle, examine the following configuration options:

Cvs_roots (for CVS)
Svn_roots (for Subversion)
Root_parents (for CVS or Subversion) # root directory of all svn version Libraries
Default_root
Root_as_url_component
Rcs_dir
Mime_types_files

There are some other options that are usually nice to change. See
Viewvc. conf for more information. ViewVC provides a working,
Default look. However, if you want to customize the look of ViewVC
Then edit the files in /Templates.
You need knowledge about HTML to edit the templates.
