I'm pleased to announce the release of GNU CSSC, version 1.3.2. This is a test release and follows the previous test release 1.3.1. This release can be downloaded from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/cssc.
Stable releases of CSSC are available from ftp.gnu.org. Development releases and release candidates are available from alpha.gnu.org. As for other GNU packages, the latest stable release can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/cssc. 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 git). There is a mailing list for users of the CSSC suite. To join it, please send email to <cssc-users-requ...@gnu.org> or visit the URL http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/cssc-users. There is also a mailing list for (usually automated) mails about bugs and changes to CSSC. This is http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cssc. For more information about CSSC, please see http://www.gnu.org/software/cssc/. In the file docs/CREDITS within the CSSC distribution, there 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, Larry McVoy, Dave Bodenstab, Malcolm Boff, Richard Polton, Fila Kolodny, Peter Kjellerstedt, John Interrante, Marko Rauhamaa, Achim Hoffann, Dick Streefland, Greg A. Woods, Aron Griffis, Michael Sterrett, William W. Austin, Hyman Rosen, Mark Reynolds, Sergey Ostashenko, Frank van Maarseveen, Jeff Sheinberg, Thomas Duffy, Yann Dirson Many thanks to all the above people. Changes since the previous release are: * This release is based on updated versions of gnulib and of the googletest unit test framework (the test framework is of course not linked into the installed CSSC binaries, it is just used for unit tests). * This release uses a new tar format. Up to now we have used the v7 Unix tar format, but this does not cope correctly with filenames longer than 99 characters, and we now have one of those. We now use the the ustar format defined by POSIX 1003.1-1988. If you need to unpack a CSSC distrubition with a version of tar which only deals with the v7 format, unpack the distribution somewhere else, rename or delete the long files (they are not essential to the build process) and re-pack it. This new tar format will likely also be used for all future releases. * Fix Savannah bug 33633, prs -d":GB:" coredumps when expanding %I%.
