Hi Jim, I've attached the old RCSFileProvider to https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=RCS%20File%20provider , reachable through https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=ContributedProviders
It contains a small maven project (sources + binaries) with the provider + the ProviderConverter util (from RCS to VersioningFileProvider) classes that were available on 2.9. You'll have to add it to your WEB-INF/lib or reference it through the jspwiki.plugin.externalJars property, and obviously configure the RCS file provider on jspwiki(-custom).properties, as you were doing before. Please keep in mind that this functionality is *not* mantained by the JSPWiki team. Anyone willing to enhance the (almost non-existent) documentation, to fix bugs, improve the provider, etc. will be gladly welcome.
