I have a (not fully tested) cvs plugin pretty much implemented for Capistrano 2.0. It should hopefully at least serve as a starting point that can be improved upon.
The plugin I wrote is her: http://thephillips.mn.googlepages.com/cvs.rb (goes in lib/capistrano/recipes/deploy/scm) The unit test is here: http://thephillips.mn.googlepages.com/cvs_test.rb (goes in test/deploy/scm) The most painful point of having CVS support in Capistrano appears to be the fact that CVS doesn't have the notion of a repository-wide revision identifier (tags sort of fit this requirement but they can be moved around so it's not the same as a subversion revision). The way Capistrano got around that in previous versions was to use the datestamp of the most recent checkin. This can be very slow depending on the size of your repository. Anyway, I haven't had a chance to test this plugin outside of the unit tests I wrote for it. So, please take a look and feel free to not use it and write your own it if it's just looks like a giant hack! :-) I hope it works though.
