hi,
For long we are planning to remove GNU rcs from base, after a failed
attempt
before FreeBSD 10.0. Let see where we are to be able to remove it
from FreeBSD
12.
why should we remove it?
What will replace it? it's an integral part of many people's systems.
Is there a non gnu RCS with the same features?
surprised to hear so many people are dependent upon having rcs in their
base system. there are options though - for example OpenBSD uses
OpenRCS in their base:
http://man.openbsd.org/rcs.1
its not strictly GNU compliant as I believe it adheres to the original
implementation (which frankly is probably a good thing imho). GNU RCS
is also available via ports/pkgs as well.
If people are adamant about preserving a rcs binary in base though this
seems like a great opportunity to step up and help import/support OpenRCS.
just my two bits - hope it helps.
