- I am maintaining libraries of in-house code and I want to place the
- files under revision control. My boxes (AIX 3.[12]) only have sccs.
- I have been using sccs for single-file programs, but a library source
- is typically spread over many files. I want all the files to have the
- same revision number. Sccs won't do that. I don't have large teams of
- programmers to manage; all I need at this point is per-project
- revision numbers.
-
- According to the c.u.questions FAQ, RCS has a feature (symbolic names)
- that might come close enough to what I want. I lifted some BSD docs
- from uunet but they weren't specific enough.
-
- Surely this is a common problem. How do you handle it? Should I
- install RCS? Should I get CVS instead?
