I'm pleased to announce the release of GNU CSSC, version
1.1.1.
This is a test release and so it is available from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/cssc.
The most recent stable release is 1.0.1; that release is available
from ftp.gnu.org.
CSSC ("Compatibly Stupid Source Control") is the GNU
project's replacement for the traditional Unix SCCS suite.
It aims for full compatibility, including precise nuances of
behaviour, support for all command-line options, and in most
cases bug-for-bug compatibility. CSSC comes with an
extensive automated test suite.
If you are currently using SCCS to do version control of
software, you should be able to just drop in CSSC, even for
example if you have a large number of shell scripts which
are layered on top of SCCS and depend on it. This should
allow you to develop on and for the GNU/Linux platform if
your source code exists only in an SCCS repository. CSSC
also allows you to migrate to a more modern version control
system (such as CVS, perhaps).
There is a mailing list for users of the CSSC suite. To
join it, please send email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
or visit the URL
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/cssc-users.
For more information about CSSC, please see

is a full list of people who have contributed to the
development of CSSC. They are listed briefly here :-
James Youngman, Ross Ridge, Eric Allman, Lars Hecking,

New in CSSC-1.1.1, 2008-01-18
* Updated the NEWS file to give estimated release dates
and user-visible changes for ancient releases.
* The -l and -L options of "get" are now implemented.
* If you use "admin -dlX" to unlock release X, but all
releases are locked, an explanatory error message is issued.
Previously, the attempt was simply silently ignored.
* prs no longer has a -R option.
* When CSSC tools are passed the name of a directory on the
command line, they operate on the SCCS files in that directory.
As of this release, subdirectories are ignored (instead of
generating an error when CSSC tries to open the directory as
a file).
Please report any bugs via this software to the CSSC bug reporting
page, http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=findutils
